Postby FST4RD » Sat Feb 25, 2006 12:31 pm

I know it aint a toyota but i thought someone here could help.....
Looking for some 13x7" superlights to fit on my mini clubman, got 12's on there now but looking for an upgrade......
i know there used to be a place in chch that made them, but don't remember where...
Not to worried bout shipping over nz or even if i could get a set of second hand ones.
So can anyone help???

Talk to mypepe on trademe- they often gets them in stock new, from uk I think.
infact...
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 675999.htm
there ya go- knew I saw recently.
looks like $1350 is the best price they can do at the mo...which is pretty good really.

whats the reason for upping to 13's?, looks or breaks?- they are not the first choice for performance on a mini.
also, if you do get some, you going to sell the 12's?...im either looking for some 12's or 10's depending if I go a head with making up a disk setup.

Well mainly for looks, going to sell the 12's with the flairs and get some 13x7's and the really wide flairs to accomadate them, want to eventually enter it into comps, it's going to go for a panel and paint soonish but need to get the new flairs first
Yeah i'm going to do the disc conversion to the front as well already got a worked 1275 motor with twin carbs, exhaust etc......

Should look nice. One of my mates had 13x7"s on his round nose afew years back...looked mint.
it'd be a bit of custom work on a clubman, but would be pretty cool to get the cooper sports pack flairs (as on the last few years of production) modded to suit. Lost of options though & quite a few importers around the place.
Ive only had 10" mags on my mini's...at present just on standard steels (had full tread when I built the car up)
