I found this as a spare in a mini i had for a while.
I have never seen one before, and i only have the 1.
It looks like a standard 3.5inch but with a strange shallow offset.
If anyone wants it make an offer. the tyre is stuffed.

lol - I took a photo of that wheel at your place and intended to ask the same question Tom - I guess I can delete the photo now... what Daihatsu came with a 10" wheel?

The stud pattern and centre match a mini.

I have some on the trailer that I tow behind my little tractor. They are off a diahatsu van . I think they were called handy van or similar. The very early ones did have 4" four stud and the brakes look VERY similar to a mini {japs just copying a good thing} The later ones went to 100mm 4 stud with a similar rim but had more offset. the center stuck out side the edge of the rim.

You want a spare? Free, otherwise the scrap metal man gets it.

In the past I imported these from Japan for use on boat trailers, some time back there was a lot of trailers made that used the Mini Wheels, I would not throw it away Sell it on ebay

I tell you what, boat trailer wheels are worth a fortune. Especially prized are HR stud pattern in 13 or 14 inch. Brand new steel wheels go for around $110ea. I ended up buying brand new mag wheels for $90ea - strange world when mags got cheaper than steelies.
Now we just need someone to tool-up to start making Mamba's in volume so the market floods, and prices tumble :lol:
