Minator wheel size ID..?

Post by UWD 672G »

Snapped this lovely looking Mk1 at Hagley this morning - I like the look of the deep dish Minators but couldn't see any size markings on them - was wondering whether they're 5''x10'' or 6''x10''...? Car is badged as a Cooper but has a 1275 lump, not sure if the brake set up is Cooper or S...

Does the car belong to anyone on here..?

The angle of the tyre sidewall suggests these are 6" wide rims, the ones on my Mini are 5" (although a different make) & there is much more of a 'bulge' in the sidewall. Unfortunately, I missed Hagley due to work, which is a pity, I only live a few miles down the road from there. That certainly is a great looking Mini.

Thanks LC... I did look at the tyres, I think they're 165/70/R10s... the wheel / trye combo on this car certainly look very nice.

(There was an Almond Green / O.E.White '64 Austin Cooper for sale at Hagley yesterday, reg' was 743 MOM, by the time I'd got there it had a 'sold' sign in the window... looked very tidy)
