Anyone heard of doing it? this could be a really cheap way of getting some awsome wheels for minis? Look like 4on4 bolt pattern same as mini. 4 wheels for $275us.

you'd need to find out what speed they're capable of... they may only be suitable for put-putting around the golf course

Do you reclon they'd be rated to drive on the road? Australian Standards?

What do you reckon insurance would so if they looked at these wheels after a prang? I recon they'd nail you to a post upside down.

doubt if they'd be very legal on a car... but golf carts are registerable on hamilton island, and heaps of the locals have very bling wheels on theirs, along with some cool number plates - there was one with BUGGY, but I missed taking a photo

Sorry Benjamin, but I think there is NO WAY those rims would stand up to the loads a mini would put on them! :)

I've heard of people getting 10" forklift TYRES and hand cutting them into rally tyres, but this is a whole new thing. I doubt they'd have the strength required for car use - golf carts aren't exactly heavy or fast :?
