That's a good question. Now you mention it, I don't think i've seen a 12" Mamba...

Not sure of any Mamba's that are bigger than 10" but there is a set on e-bay at the
moment.

only in 10s - either 10 by 5 or 10 by 6.
those ebay ones would be the rarest set of mini wheel in the country i reckon - never used mambas in australia? Doubt there are many new ones in boxes even in the uk.
not mine by the way.

cheers!

Can't be bothered to search ebay...

Are they being sold by Brickworx? As I recal he's got a set in 10x5 with Dunlop Formula R tyres (my fav tyre, they stick like glue!)

Those Mambas are sold, Timothy.



12" wheels are shameful.

10s or nothing.

all the real minis had 10 inch wheels.

No they are being sold by someone else, it will be interestig to see what they go for, i:ve got a set of 10x6" on my cooper S that were on it when i brought it and i was curious to know what they were worth, i was told by a mini shop in Sydney( some 8 yrs ago ) that they were about $1300 a set( i think from memory, don;t quote me but they were pricey!!!! )

10x5, 10x4.5 or 10x6 is the question though..

10 x 6, is the best! 8) Wide...yeah!.

Nothing wrong with 12s, I'm a 10 inch wheel on a mini kinda guy, but 7.5 discs are getting hard to find, where as 8.4s are easily found on Rovers.

Hence the need for 12 inch. 13s....nah too big!

I agree, 10" looks best. Although, done right 12's and 13's can look great too. I don't think a Mamba would look as good in a 12" or 13" fitting - better off with a Minilite at that size. 10x6 Mamba... 8) Where's the drooling emoticon? :lol: :wink:
To counter Slinkey's point, though, if you don't have 12" rims, the cost of a set of rims, tyres + 8.4" discs still doesn't quite beat the cost of a set of 7.5" discs, which you can buy new... If you buy everything in good nick, that is. :)

Yes I do agree, forgot you can buy them new.

Other reason for 12s is if you are running metro turbo disc setup.
