Borgy, out of interest are these for road or for race?

If they are for the road what do you intend to fill them with? The fronts are 6" wide and the rear 5", if your wheels stick out by 6" then how "legal" will the track of your car be?

I ask this question with regard to my 4age conversion as I have had to increase the track by about 4"-5" (with 7x13s fitted) and am concerned that I won't be able to get it road legal because of the trackl.:( Some Miglia wide arches would cover them though!

Cheers :)
Rich

Wheels sound neet,I've got some 3 piece split rim 7x13's with cast alloy centres and spun outers. They are like this...

...except that the centres are darker.

Oviously your wheels will increase the track from original by more than 1". Does this mean that it has to be inspected/approved?

Not arriving in Perth until Jan/Feb 07 but will keep an eye out for you in MiniWorld.

they will fit clubmans anyway.. most arches do they only thing remotely stopping you would be the little edge that follows the front around... which you could shave off.
