they wont fit a standard clubman with ar4ches. there is another pic of these wheels with sports pack wheel arches. looks gay imo. also it would be a total bitch to get tyres for these rims. also the tyres on these rims are golf cart tures. limited to about 60 km/h

RARE
Remarkable, And Really Expensive.

Also look at the tyre size: 205/50.
50 is the same wall height used on 12" wheels.
The car will be an inch closer to the ground.

The "50" is in relation to the tread width, not the actual height.

Nooo- guys, it's not, it's the wall height in % of the tyre width.

Which for this 205/50 would be 102.5mm, whereas for a 165/70 it would be 115.5mm.

So yes the O/D of tyre is (115.5 - 102.5) *2 LESS than a 165/70.

ie it's smaller by 13mm. Not much really. :wink:

But they are actually golf cart wheels, aren't they? The second pair look a little delicate for a Mini, with very little 'meat' on those spokes, but I can't think of any reason (apart from available tyres) why you couldn't use them in NZ. However, the tyres are likely to have a speed rating marked on them. And if this is true, then it's pretty irresponsible to sell them.

Yup, illlegal or at the very least, a very bad idea. But the people who buy them (if anyone does), won't have a clue...
