Hmmm.... not many ships at Richmond... maybe just lots of seamen... :lol:

yeah.. The prob with those wheels are that they are made to order.

and the company that makes them was to busy making F1 wheels.. so my order was less priority for them.

least they are almost to me..

I've looked into these wheels. You can get some HOT looking Billet jobs to fit a Mini.

The guy at Blairs Tyres said that while they bolt straight onto a Mini the only tyre that will fit is a 'grooved' slick - because of the width of the rim.

Would probably be OK if they were a 'show' car.

Not sure how legal golf buggy turf tyres are on the road. Probably wouldn't handle to well.

we're in the wrong topic, but i'm sure they'd disintergrate at the first turn...

maybe not the billet ones, tho...
