I hate to sound negative on this

I hope they arent the wheels i sold to him

(13" hotwires) I sold them to him for the tyres. they are NOT the
right offset for a mini and bend the studs to get them to fit which
is not safe. hope they werent passed off to you as mini wheels......

If 100mm PCD, I wouldn't use them without modifying to 101.6mm (4") PCD. I have seen wheel studs break because of this.... :cry:

I bolted the wheels up to a mini brake discs with no problem, they all fitted nice and snug with no stress on the studs. Chris i belive you may have been given the wrond info on the wheels, they will fit a Moke no drama's at all.

Mmm... Get them measured, just to be safe. It's better than dying.

went to niceproducts in marrickville
said they didnt have any nuts for the wheels
(they supply repco and supercheap)
nothing.


option 1. get some custom made(no need for attractiveness. just purpose). how much $$ do you think it will cost?

option 2. take the tyres off (i want them) and ebay the rims. slap the 165 and 185's on steels

any other options?

A guy walks into his Doctor's office with shrink wrap around his middle.





The doc says "Well, I can clearly see your nuts"

A guy walks into a bar with a steering wheel coming out of the front of his pants.
Barman says "Hey, pal - do you know you've got a steering wheel coming out of your pants?'





Guy replies "I know, it's driving me nuts"
