the best set of wheels ive ever seen on a mini were a set of image 3 piece alloys.
they looked awsome as they were 13x7 but the center of the rim looked like a minilite and was only the size of a 10 inch rim if that makes sense....and they had studs as well.
the spke section was in a metalic light blue....and on a white mini they looked excelent.

Pollished Spun alloy 3 piece super lightweights

I`d almost bet that you`d hardly even know that you`re carrying them, they`re that light :-)

Depends what car they go on.
And can always send them back to Performance, with $40, and they paint them in whichever colour (Silver, Charcoal, Gold).

GOod deal that one.

AwdMoke & FigJam,,,They are my speedway rims with the "RimLock" (or BeadLock) i have another set without the beadlock & they will sport the Hoosiers or Yoko AO32Rs ,,,whichever i end up deciding upon when the dam car actually runs :-)

sooper dooper lightweight & very very strong & also have some sort of resemblance to the good old "S" rim hey?

Accelleration is the name of the game & i don`t reckon there`s a lighter wheel rim out there
