Cooper S, 4.5x10
Mini S, 4.5x10
Cooper S (reverse), 4.5x10

I wouldn't bother trying 3.5x10 early Mini wheels.. some say they don't fit S brakes but I've seen they do (just!)- but why bother... :shock:

and what about the cost for 'em? (or even who wants to donate some to me ;)

and what is this business about the reversed cooper s rims... is it just simply a matter of sticking them on backwards?

Reverse Cooper S rims have the outer rim reverse assembled on the centre, to increase the track.
Really designed for older Minis with drum brakes and flat drums, but do work with Cooper S brakes. Fill the flares better.. :wink:

yea, OK. If I was a true tight ass, I would ebay them. 3 of the tyres are really good.

You can have them in 2 weeks. I should have my 12's by then.
