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 |

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

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. |
