Have you tried looking on KAD's web site. I'm sure they list the most popular wheels that will fit.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

7.9 isnt really that big i belive scruffy was runinng some 10" wheels with 8.4" breaks and 6 pot calipers!!! Most 10's will fit over the 7.9 breaks if you want amazing quality and lightness get some force racing wheels, if i could afforde it i would get them for my pug as well as the minis ones. Drives

Already used the search button. Might be no magic in it but if it's there it's well hidden. |

I'd like some more wheels to enable me to do some competition but I've really no idea what will fit. Anyone got this set up or anyone got any ideas as to which current alloy wheel will fit Ta  I'm competing with the standard Cooper S brakes. Works brilliantly with Carbon Metallic pads. I'm not saying that there isn't better brakes around, I'm merely saying that you might get away with smaller brakes than you think. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Thanks Vegard but I'm reluctant to change on cost grounds. |

]..........return them & try again.
............or so my trick cyclist says..........but beyond that some TLC on advice on using the search would be useful. Tried various entries on a load of subjects but still can't turn up anything on the subject of the thread.
