If they're watching how about tooling up for some nicely dished 6 x 10 Rosepetals.

I know they never existed (or did they? I'm thinking not...) buy I think they'd look ubercool on an S with some subtle arches like W&P's etc.

I'm sure they'd sell. Not a thing for the purest but seeing as there's soooo many crap wheels out there I'm thinking this one's worth a shot.

Some were made, these 4 have raced on Roskilde Ring in the 60ies.

Very few sets were made.
I was lucky enough, to know a former race car mechanic, who got these 4 wheels, after they stopped racing Mini,s

I know of one / possible two more set, that have survived.

Now that is interesting. Not to mention W&P. W&P used quite a lot of trick wheels on their mini's like knock on minilites etc.

So all Minispares need to do is get a wheel to mould off...

Black/Silver rim for me...

it will never happen, the costs involved are huge to get the dies made.

i do think that mws missed a trick here, they would have been better off making a 6x10 version rather than the straight copy of the 4.5 as im sure they would have sold far more

This sir is utterly correct. Perhaps some grotty quality Chinese factory will have a pop?

I see a market..

I'm sure if you go to Force Racing they will make you a set from a normal set of Rose Petals :]

Yes but I don't think a split rim rosepetal will look much cop...!
