I know that the Minispares ones are different to the Midlands wheels ones, I don't know anything about the Minisport ones.

I know that Minispares paid a fortune for new tooling & took a fantastic amount of care to get these wheels correct & of the right standard for the racers.

I don't know about the other 2.

That's what I suspected, but as I didn't know, I didn't say.
