Does anyone know where you can buy the alloy copies of the original Cooper style wheels?

how much are you offering :D ;)

these are the ones you want - they're bloody cheap for what they are..

Kevin aka. Rehab1964 is planning (or has already ordered) some, I was tossing up getting a spare

http://www.minisport.com/acatalog/info_SPDSR-011-S.html

Mine came from Japan, but I'm 99% sure these are the same, though my wheels are slightly different in the valve stem recess. My wheels have a solid metal valve stem, a rubber stem wouldn't go in them without drilling the hole bigger

10kg's from UK ought to be cheap

well, mine are closer, if you pay me more than it'll cost me to land another set sent out from UK, then I'll sell ;)
