Ok... Mini 1000 Racing is coming...
Time to start preparing the car. 1994 Rover Mini Cooper.
Today i took the 13 by 5.5 superlites off, no problem.
on with the 10 by 5 superlites... car looks awful.
of with the superlites... on with 10 by 6 widened steelies....
still awful... maybe my dragway splats next???

Why is it 10" wheels look great... until you've had bigger.

Who sez they look better

the rolling diameter between 10/12 aint that much different if you are thinking about unfair advantage etc

Ok this is a discussion i have had a few times and think of it like this, the 13's are great as a show of set but for practicality 10's are good for racing like wearing dinner shoes that look really great you would want to run around the block a few times in them.

10 and 12's offer little differnce and over here there are most of the cars running on 10's and a clubman running on 13's at it looks great.but doesnt perform as well.

It DID NOT sit low on 13s....
Its just the wheels filled the guards.
And you couldnt turn :roll:

IMPRACTICAL BULLSHIT

So 10s fit nice, you can actually get onto steering lock, and do u turns and such.
Fit hilos, lower it to where you want, and STILL be able to do u turns!!

:wink:

Go the 10s!

well i liked 10's until i had 12's which made the 10's look frumpy, then danielle got 13's which made my 12's look daggy.
