Can anyone tell me the history of Mamba mag wheels for Minis. Where they around in the 60's - 70's?? or are they a recent brand.

Cheers

lookin for another clubby

I have a set on my Cooper S and was just wondering if they'd be a suitable 'period' accessory.

yes they are. any wheel that was available at the time is a period peice.

i love the look of mambas!! where did you get them from......does anyone know if they're still available new, price, etc??

I'm pretty sure they still make em over in the old country. Check some pommy places.

MWS in UK still sell them, I think- 10x6 or 10x5.

i used to have some which i bought secondhand from northern mini parts. was about 400 for a set of 4. that was about 8 yrs ago though lol. pretty hard to find now though. very light rim though.

They are a very nice rim. Not sure where we got ours from, my hubby got them many moons ago. We had them polished up by a metal pollisher and then painted the centres to match the burgandy roof on the S. I'd like to leave them on the car as we're exploring the vintage rego thing and they must be 'period' wheels. I hope we can keep them on.

hey kyoda....if you luck out and arent able to keep them on the car i'd be very interested in buying them (if ur willing to sell of course) you can PM me or email me when you know the details
