U can haz colours

http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/C-1293-5-x-10.html

Bigger sizes too, up to 7x13.

@awdmoke: I think the valve stem holey thing sticks out away from the car, rather than between the spokes. Similar to the Japanese repro version I believe, so technically not identical to your originals

Waaay ahead of yez...I'm sitting by the door waiting for them to arrive from Midland Wheels.. I think they're on the Hume somewhere
AU$856 landed... 10x6 shod with A008 tyres fitted/balanced. 10x5's have a different price, so you can save a few dollars there..

I was going to throw images up once they were here and I had a chance to throw them on.


I'm tracking them on UPS, but those guys are dodgy. If the wheels sit there and move nowhere, they just update the date of the last scan to make things look like they're doing something..

[quote="low'n blown"] sold the house, sold the starlet. Doing a small Reno then all guns blazing on the mini, wife's approval pending. I reckon if she's getting an x5 I can get me some new spoky dokies.

minispares 10% off summer sale this week only!

Original styled wheel centers are of course available from Minispares, but as I suspected they are not the same size being a few milimeters larger than the new type. Something which could be fixed up on a lathe.






Don't talk too me about dish....
dish dish and more dish...
10x5 may have been the better choice, or narrower footprint 165 tyres..These will do for special events in any case..
