Just dont get hudds mini spares to fit them too. They cocked mine up, causing my wheel to get caught on the arch just up the road from leaving their garage while turning, sending me into the curb, and yes, CURBING MY BRAND NEW ALLOYS.



I didnt know much about minis then, so i got them to cut the arches and fit them.

Feebs .... Ouch !

I always sit the car ; and do a lock to lock with my mates laying under the front of the car b4 i even move !!

My green mini has some chrome superlites ; they rub on hard cornering ; but not as bad as yours did !!

F@cking mini pissing me off at the moment; just want it to run right now and then I will see what it can do at avonpark !

PS Oh gav ; mine has 7*13 superlites ;; they look a bit big in my opinion ... I rekon 8 will be pushing it ; Will they clear the radius arms at the back .... must be ever so tight ...
