oh, if its a morris mini i'd go with 10 inchers poking out of standard guards
if it's a clubby i'd go the 12's

Flares are good, I like them. i have them on my clubby which has standard 10's.

But which flares do you prefer??? The ones that fit with the lines of the car http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/78Clubby/Not%20Mine/arch.jpg, or the ones that just stick out? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/78Clubby/Not%20Mine/redline-DSCF0167.jpg

Personally, i like the ones that go with the lines.

Clubby? If so flares for sure

Roundie? only reason to have no flares is you want to keep it stock look. I have decided not to go flares only because I have 2 sets of LS contessas now 8) besides I think Lillee looks good without them.

With flares you get more wheel choices, more brake options and wider stance :lol:

my car is a round nose.... clubbies are not exactly my taste but they are great, i prefer the curves, like my women :wink:
these are my wheels i have on there now, i was thinking of buying superlites or mini lites.. my old fella says he like flares, but i stil dont kno. so im most likely going to buy 10" inch, should look great!

I like the Innocenti (aka Mini Special) plastic flares, they just screw on, no body mods needed like with S flares. If you don't like, just take `em off & fill the holes in... :P
And if you break one, all 4 are available singly.

the 12's i got on my car as pictured in the second pic above (dylans clubby's post) dont stick out at all without the flares.....they line up exactly with the body of the car.

i was told they were off an imported UK mini or something but proly came stndrd with some.

im going to vote some 10x5 mini-lites wheels with no flairs but with camber brackets to lean em into the wheels arch,it works a treat with a mates race car :D
BTW i love the look of your car mate,yellow with white roof looks butie :D
