That's a very intelligent response from you.

10x6 are great - I really like the bulge that 165 profile tyres get on the sidewall.

also try Huddersfield Spares ( http://www.minispares-online.co.uk/inde ... _cat_id=17 )

they stock Minators & Ultralights in 10x6 (about £287 with A008's, nuts & caps)
I have bought a few sets of wheels from them, shipping was about £200 (for 12's)

the Ultralites have an offset of -3 & the Minators +6, so the Ultralites will stick out an extra 9mm

You know I've danced around it for a while, but with the AUDvGBP looking so healthy, I'm going to sell the 12s (hopefully) and cover the majority of the outlay (again hopefully). I might need to find a set of nuts to bolt the jellybeans on if they go before I order the UK set.

The mini is one of the only cars that can run 10s so why not?!

Do you mean 12s are 'gay'? Or 10 x 6s?

12s and 13s

I think 10s look great

Cracks me up that a certain Aussie supplier wants $1160 plus freight for the exact same package. Why pay double????

That imported price will make you second hand set hard to sell too.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh! People love 12s. :wink:

10 watchers at a starting price of $500 on eBay - as soon as there's a bid, I'm ordering.

Hi Col,

Leigh (SuperCooper) has hooked me up with a set that we think will fit. Going to whack them on tonight.

Evan

Update, nuts worked and Barney is now shod with his original Jellybeans. I have to say it does not look half bad with 10s on and this has confirmed my thoughts on switching. Now we wait.
