Minilights

[gti_al 1]

Thinking of getting some 14 or 15'' superlights for the pug. I can think of wheels i would prefer, but they can be made locally cheap and in pug fitment

 

Would they look ok? Any tried some or got pics? http://www.performancewheels.com.au/superlite.asp

Thats a matter of personal preference, although I would only expect to see minilites on a Mini, theres a few users on here pretty handy with the photoshop (not me unfortunately) who might be able to knock you a piccy up.

they look superb, but haven't seen any on a 205.

I've been keeping an eye out for some of these...... 108 pcd

 

With a polished rim I reckon they'd be on a 205

never seen minilights on a 205 but they're both an 8-spoke design (re. 1.9 Speedlines), so might not look completely out of place, on?

 

be interesting to see, anyway

look better in 12" tbh - see if you can get them to fit

I've seen a couple of 205s with minilites (correct spelling not that you can get them anymore though! ) on, competiton cars, looks ok, not amazing though, doesn't really suit IMO.

A mate has those on his mark 2 escort they look mustard.

 

Don't think they would look too hot on a 205 but its down to personal preference.

 

Whatever butters your parsnips and all that!

[hengti 2]

not half bad, then?

I agree,down to personal taste but I think they look very nice,may look the dogs nadgers in white on a red GTI???? Was looking at the compomotive minilights the other week and thought then they might look tidy on a 205.

i'm at work so can't see the picture. Just got a quote though… A$185 for 14*6, or $195 for 15*7. I would prefer 14*7, but they don’t do that. I wonder if 15s would look too big though. They really need to be small and as dished as possible.

 

That is really cheap though

 

What do we think? I should be able to sell my 15s for more than that. These are the ones http://www.performancewheels.com.au/superlite.asp#

Just got home and had a look at the pics... what i really want are the 13x10s, but that is a bit stupid.

 

I am looking at these to get something a bit wider on. Choices in pug fitment here are limited, and spacers aren't legal, so these seem like the sensible option. I really want sl434s, but it just isn't going to happen. I think with the 1.9 front hubs, and 1.6 beam it just looks too narrow now.

 

What size and offset should i look at to get it looking a bit tougher? Thinking 15x7 et 12ish? Would 8J be a bit extreme?

Clearly. That is still extremely cheap
