I think the gemini stud pattern is 4 x 100. The mini stud pattern is 4 x 101.6 so thats a no, but they could be re drilled?

No, they dont really fit.

Gemini and Camira (and Honda, Corolla, BMW etc) run a 4 x 100mm PCD (stud pattern). Minis/Mokes run a 4 x 4" or 101.6mm PCD. The 4 x 100mm wheels will physically fit over the studs, but the wheel nuts will not torque down centrally in the stud holes. As a result the wheel studs can fatigue, bend and break. I have seen it happen! :(

EDIT: Yes they can possibly be redrilled to suit.

Well I was going to post that the stud pattern was wrong and you would break the studs if you tried to fit them to a mini, but everyone else had beaten me, so I thought.......

I seem to remember Brickworx puttig those 12" centrelines on eBay and selling them about 12-18 months ago. They sold a lot cheaper than the current starting price. As the current seller is in Adelaide too, one can only assume the guy who bought them then is now on-selling them.

But $2K is a complete rip-off IMHO. :shock:

Mike i think that once redrilled the wheels will fit no worries, but my concern would be heat disapation. there's not venting with those wheels, the old brakes will get real hot real quick, and that will play havoc with your stopping ability. Just a thought. Good for bling though :wink:

Cheers

Big money making excercise.

A little bit of polish, and he reckons he'll triple their value? :x

Well, I'm gonna go on record and say, I like 'em!

They'd look very cool on a metallic colour car, and they'd be something different! :D
