Any recommendations for where to get one done in Perth? Is it a simple case of just going to the nearest Beaurepairs and saying, "Here, fix this"? or will they run away in abject terror.. :lol:

Best thing to do is call around and ask if they do 10" or 12" wheels (depending on what you have). I think most places can do 12" but not many can do 10"

Are you north or south?

Greens tyres in Wanneroo have done my 10's and 12's. 13's and up I go to pedders Joondalup. Pedders joondalup used to do 10's but recently changed their machine and can only do 13's up. As Pedders are all franchised each store has their own gear so you may find another pedders still able to do 10's.

Of all 9 of my minis the ones done at Pedders handle the best.

Talk about wheel alignment..... Here in Brisbane is there any one reputable that is proven and capable of doing a 4 wheel alignment on a Mini with 13 X 7 inch wheels. So far someone who is supposed to be a specialist has not succeeded. Car still ducks and dives all over the road randomly. Name or phone number in a PM will be appreciated.

I have never had a mini 13x7's handle the way it should. Swap them back to 10's and they handle like a dream
