Ha!!! Nice try Poeee... close but no cigar :-)

& yes they are a carbon-fibre/kevlar rim with CNC machined alloy centres

& yes very expensive indeed & i`m no Dept of Tpt authority but are any of the old skool road mags actually tested & approved for legal road use??? ---> i think not

& i`ve just had a spate of questions directed at me about these wheels & yes i can make more of them but i`ll need payment in advance & there is quite a wait for them to be made.

if yo`ure interested then e-mail me (as some allready have) & maybe we can sort a decent size batch of them to be made in one hit, which will obviously bring the cost down somewhat,,, but i don`t expect it will cut costs much, just a tad i`m betting.

I don`t expect there is a lighter 10" mini wheel anywhere , i`m pretty sure even the KAD lightweight magnesium race rims are heavier :-)

I'm (and I'm sure everyone else on Ausmini is) still waiting for pics of these on a Mini :lol:

Until I see that, I choose to believe they don't actually exist :lol:

I have to agree with this, and until I see these wheels on a mini, I will continue under the assumption that it isn't really a carbon-fibre/kevlar rim, but a pot plant from Bunnings with the centre cut out of it. :)

It`s actually a picture of a drain plug hole from a sink that i`ve blown up in size to make it look like a mag wheel for a mini :-)

seriously, i will get them onto my mini shortly, it`s just that there is more important stuff on my plate at the moment like the Bimmer Twinky stuff about to come to fruit,,,

besides the fact that i havn`t actually bought the tyres for them yet :-(

& yes the price really is too high to post here,,, it`s totally disgusting & anyone in their right mind wouldn`t pay that much for them,,, I was temporarily insane at the time.

& sorry,,, not avaliable in 13" (YET) :-)

ya flamin mongrels, allways picking on me,,, just because i`m old & tired & slow & useless & ,,, well,,, just wait till you`re all my age & then all you young whipper snappers will see what it`s like,,, the tide will turn then & ,,, well,,, ,,,er,,,ar,,, what was i talking about???,,,, & who the heck are you anyways???,,,, :-)
