They are the same off set (give or take 10mm) as most 13x7s. Theay are about 1kg lighter than my starmags.

I don't think Fast carl does 13s, he just does ladyboy 10s

i did want 10's but because people seem to want to charge obsene money for s calipers fair point if they can and sell them good luck to them but i wont be paying for them lol. and mk1/mk2 fiesta calipers just seem to be nearly impossable to find where i live. I will just have to stick with my metty 4 pots and go with 12 or 13's. They are a bit wide for my liking but other than alleycats with are silly wide as well they are the only one i like lol.

I think i will pm clubminiflip see what he thought of them then. i dont want to buy them then relise they are about a useful as the popes balls.

thanks again

I think clubminiflip used them? someone has and their experience is the best way to judge I think.

i've not used them, i've got s-disks and original cooper reverse rims, a friend has the minispeed alloy type that fit 8.4"disks & thinks they're awful to drive & give a heavy feel to the steering, personally go for proper brakes you can fit normal 10" minirims over or stick with 12" wheels and get your car low! & sort the handling, was'nt there a thread that stated 6x10 mamba's fit over metty turbo 4pot calipers with 7.9" disks?

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but can anyone give me the actual offset of those Minispares rims?



I am still waiting for them to get back to me after two weeks.Keep forgetting to call them - bloody 8 hour time difference!

I'm running custom 9.2" vented discs, and want to stay with 10" rims for various reasons, I have 13" rims already. This is on a hillclimb car with fully adjustable suspension (ex-Mr Titanium) so the added track width is not an issue.
