Just thinking of what the best set of mag wheels I've seen on a mini. Sg has a set that I admire and they really make or break a car.It's really hard to get a good balance between modern on old car,you can spend a fortune and it can still look like crap. What's the best you've seen, regardless of price and you only have one choice. :wink:

i got a quote fr a set of sweet 12x 7 rims from a metal fabricator in uk. they looked awesome they are like a two piece split rim and they were 125 pound each and they quoted 300 pound freight!!! thats 1 expensive set of wheels.
:P

They sound awesome. There must be some other way of lowering that freight price.
Those gold Mamba's look pretty nice as well. 8)

The hotwires like sabreatche's look good on a clubbie, don't think they would suit a roundie, they are more a mid-late seventies thing.
