I bought some of those 2but what you should have done is gotten the rims seperate and gotten some yoko's instead of the falkens I got the same pair off the same buyer and the falkens are ok, Just so long as you don't go around the corner to fast....lol they are only 145's too so you might want to go up to 165's IMHO Pat |

they are the Tempe Tyres wheels. If you look in the pic of the Mini the centre cap IS the same that the Tempe Tyres wheels have. These guys are just replacing the centre caps and selling as theirs (or they are both using the same supplier and adding their centre caps) I bought a set of these and sent them straight back as the offset is crap. These are only good if you want your wheels to stay inside the guard with no flairs... and I doubt they will fit on a Mini with 165s without using a decent spacer. |

Nooo Lucus! Don't go the Falkens, you'll be slipping and sliding all over the joint  Trust me, I have them 
Call the guy and ask for a Yokohama deal with the tyres, or at least bridgestones... |

so if i have spacered drums all round and put these wheels and tyres on where would they sit? inside the guard? or inside the flare? |

Inside the guard, just about.. same as J_A_M does.

mine would sit better with 165's. The offset is fine for spaced drums with flares. |

Be sure and show us how they well they sit on the car when you get them. I've watched that auction come up a few times now and have been curious about them. |

Hey Lucas, did you end up taking some pics of the wheels fitted? I'm curious to see how they sat. |
