Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
i prefer genuine minilites myself

although if anyone wants to save on freight i will happily chuck some in the container on the way back end of next year......but they might find their way out of the boxes in themeantime :wink:

I've been searching the archives without success... anyone running these without arches and have pics? I see MWS stocks them in "Sterling silver" as well, anyone have those fitted to their Mini?

Ta muchly - very nice looking! Trying to figure out if these with 165/70/10 tyres will fit without arches (and even without edge trim).

Nothing wrong with 145 tyres on a 4.5 or 5" rim, except we can't buy decent 145s anymore. :cry:
I had Michelin XAS, they were great back in the 60s. 8)

I know, I looked very closely :shock: (<--- me peering intently :lol: ) A tidy resto there Brett!

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of 10's without flares but with a decent tyre (A008 / A032 / D93J). Wondering about sidewall form / thickness and whether it's actually possible... :? :cry:

In NSW the sidewall can legally stick out. We're not as anal as some states.. (looks to the SW) :lol:
165/70s should be fine. A008s or Bridgestones, anyhow.
