14th December 2008, 18:00

Im currently in love with this car and im sure they are mini 1 alloys on it and i just wonderd are they a straight fit? really like them!

14th December 2008, 18:05

Probably need spacers for sure must be four stud aswell

14th December 2008, 18:23

i'll let you know tomorrow as im about to try some on my vtr as my mate has some he wants to sell. like you a fell in love with that look too

14th December 2008, 18:25

its a new bold look tbh. and they do look like mini 1, maybe theyve been banded though?

14th December 2008, 20:10

Wouldnt say there Mini One alloys. There Superlites

I should know as im a classic mini owner and have a set lying in my bedroom lol. No, they wont fit, but you can get other PCD fitments.

Saxo PCD = 4x108
Classic Mini PCD = 4x101 (iirc)

I might be wrong, but im sure there Superlites

14th December 2008, 20:23

i just checked with my mate as he has superlites on his mk1 escort and its them i shall try on mine as he wants to sell them will put pics up to if they fit, you can get 15s but they arent deep dish like mini and superlites 13s

I concur i have some on my Jedi (gold superlights).

they are superlites and you can get them in 4x108 if you look hard enough but you may still need spacers.

i think the largest size they come in is 13" though

you can buy them customised within reason.

does that mean its a mini with a R1 superbike engine in it? how much BHP can they put out? and what is the power to weight ratio? must be good.

customised in what way?

and where from?

14th December 2008, 21:01

http://www.superlite-wheels.com/

they have them upto 16 inch. not sure what fitments are available though.

14th December 2008, 21:02

there are many options with them you can have a twin bike engine conversion or you can put one of my friends bike engined V8, its being put into a production car can't tell you what tho otherwise i will have to kill you. or just a bike engine in the rear its been around for ages, (1970's ish the bike engined V8 that is)

Yeshhhh

14th December 2008, 21:20

Oh people stuff any decent engine into Mini's lol. Redtop's, Vtec's, Suzuki Swift, R1 engine under the bonnet & another in the boot!, Hayabusa, Rover V8, K Series, KAD 16 Valve head for the A-Series, 16 valve BMW K1100 head is a good matching swap, Z cars have also started putting Volvo engines in (the 4 cylinder version of the Focus ST engine). thats all i can remember from the top of my head.

15th December 2008, 01:02

there superlights, you can get them in 4x108, uncle has a set on a mk1 escort.

15th December 2008, 19:17

right had ago with a knackard rim these are 13x7j with 108pcd off of mk1 escort ,as you can see the stick out a bit and you'd have to use at least a 10mm spacer as they touch caliper, but they fit over standard brakes and with a little effort theyd fit or i may ring them and see if they do a 6j width as theyd be perfect i reckon

and youd have to do a 80mm drop too at least

15th December 2008, 19:19

I had the same rims on mine, the fronts should fit ok with 20mm spacers scrubbing on lock though. And i had to cut a bolt down on the suspension so the tyres didnt rip themselves to bits.

The rears will need 25mm spacers with 215/50/13 tyres. And im low!

After endless fucking about trying to find tyres i gave up and sold them. The rim needed pushing out so far it wouldn't be legal unless i rolled the arches. And when ragging they get ALOT of grip for a small car so with spacers they wouldnt be doing any good to the axles.

I do love em but for a track car they were daft.

15th December 2008, 19:21

wow they look rude how much did you pay for them?

Superlites came in 4x108 PCD too for the old mk1 escorts etc, even come in 15". As they are ford fitment your looking at a chunky spacer to fit them though something like 20mm i imagine although if you find a vendor for the alloys then they will be abe to give you the offset & you can then calcualate the spacer sized needed.

P.S. Try not to ever confuse a BMW with a mini again kthx

EDIT: Hmm alot happened in the past 20 mins since i opened this thread lol. Sorry

Yea the best 15" ones though are from early SAABs. Can't remember which but they have a strange design that makes them look deep but there not that deep.

17th April 2009, 20:25

as a mini lover and also owning a 106 i saw this thread looking through a few pics on google. yes you can get 14" 108 pcd superlight style wheels to fit these car's not suprised you had trouble fitting 13" wheels on a car needing 14" wheels to clear the breaks... try revolution motorsport wheels, there 14" wheels do fit on w/o modifications to the breaks or the rim. no spacers needed.
