Had a play around today with my collection of wheels....

Anybody who thinks sportspacks only look good with 13's (or cant decide whether to use 10's or 13's) should take a look at these pictures.

If you ask me, I say the 10's probably make the car look fatter.

Click on pictures to enlarge them

After seeing these pictures, and knowing that this shell is for sale, I wonder if i really want to sell it..... :?

Well I think it comes down to what style of car you are building to what wheels look good. Plus you used two different styles of wheels maybe a better comparison would have been to use the same style?

Personally I like the 13’s as it has a more modern feel but the 10’s look more retro feel but like I say it depends on what your want your car to look like and or drive like.

Personally any nice looking mini is what I like no matter what the wheel size…….

10's look like they should be on some sort of RWD mussle car,

10's look right on mini's , it's what they used to race on and what we're used to seeing , 13's on the other hand look a little ricish to me , they can look good , but on a clubbie instead of a roundie , roundies need 10's .

I agree biggest you should have on a roundie is 12's.... but in this case 10's are the BIZ. Go the 10 mate they look hot!!

10's look the best - they look way tougher.
