A company has cheap 12*5 minilites and tyres for $550 buy it now. I emailed and they confirmed the brand is mini lite. Are these any good? The tyres are 145/70. Aren't these a large series for a 12inch rim? Would they have trouble fitting at that size?

IMHO they are terrible.
Bad offset, look gross and cheap.

Get performance wheels, not that much more expensive really.

they're not mini lites, they are the same cheap copies that tempe tyres or whoever sell, it's like anything these days, you get what you pay for.

If you look at the picture of the mini on ebay then go to the tempe tyres website the car is the same one!
So I think that this mob is tempe tyres.
