These are 12x5" charcoal Superlites on my Mini. Always better to see what they look like on the car, as opposed to just seeing the rim on a shelf, or in a catalogue.

FYI, the cost for my 12" wheels with tyres and with a complete 8.4" disc brake kit fitted on the front, is about the same as getting the 7.5" disc brakes for 10" wheels alone.

12" are da bomb, IMO! Just look at Mini Mad's car!

These are the ones ya get in Aus, which are the best looking 12" rim made, IMO. Known as "Performance Superlite".

Performance Wheels are Australian, too!

Do you even know the rules and restrictions on group Nb? Read the rules then come back and tell us why they only run 10's. :lol:

The pix are of sports sedan or super minis not Historic minis.

They have massive brakes behind those front wheels. They area lso running 8 inch wide wheels with low profile slicks. Any compromise on handling with the larger wheel is ofset by the increased grip and extra braking ability.

That first Superlite is a 13 x 7...


I had a feeling they were 13 inch, not 12. They must have just used the photo for 'illustrative purposes' but I wanted to believe the 12x5's looked like that! I think the 12x6 are the go for me...(or possibly 12x5.5)
