Hi

Just trying to fix the mini up with some nice mags like the rest of us on here. I know others have done all this before so hope everyone dont mind.

I have heard all the stories about which one rides better I kinda like 10’s but u get more rubber then mag in a way its hard to explain.

Mags turn a plain jane to amazing jane.

So
I am debating between
1 http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-par ... R12_H.html
2 http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/P-790 ... -A539.html

I don’t car about disc etc and I don’t want 13’s end of story

These are just the two examples i have and doesn’t mean ill buy em from those places. I also like something other then minilites or that design.
Here is a pic of my car,,I need something to suit my car, the flares I will also be painting the same color of the car if that changes anything.

Image

I really appreciate any genuine and constructive feedback and thank all that comment.
thanks

I've always liked the star mags. In 12's they should be alright 8) .

Hi,
Between those two my favourite is the Starmag.
My ultimate favourite is the Rebels and one for sale now but you mentioned that you don’t want 13 inch.

10's look better on a roundie IMO.

Of the two you suggest I think the revolite looks more 60's period and fits with the car better than the starmag which it's more modern looking.

I think it's really worth being able to see them on your car or a similar car, maybe someone can Photoshop them on to your car for you?

Here are my favorites/suggestions...

10 x 6 original Mamba's really are nice if you can find a set.

....and the new Midlands Mambas look nice too (dish!!). They come in a 12 I think but I havn't seen a set on a car.

I agree with the starmags being more modern.

If you want period go the revolites
Modern go the starmags

The starmags look like the kind of wheels you should see of a rotary with a bogan behind the wheel.
I do love my rotars though :3
