Minilite wheels love -in.

Must admit I don't like them. On a 70's car I want 70's slot mag wolfrace but can i find them for my Healey? No chance!

You must be equally struggling to find a jack-up suspension kit for it as well ....although, the red light under the rear axle shouldn't be a problem though

What an awesome thread! Big fan of the Minilite!





Hopefully on the road soon, once ran in ill stick a bigger tyre on the rears!

Wow great thread resurrection

Since my earlier posts the Ratsun did get superseded by another and I did indeed fit them to my 67 Mustang.

But tbh my choice has t gone down overly well with lots of people but I like them. Give the mustang a tougher look.

Mustang looks good, and can't think why people wouldn't like them on the Mustang, as they were being used by a lot of the Trans Am teams on their Mustang race cars back in the day? (although admittedly not until the 69/70 versions)

Quite right. Mainly friends that have seen this picture as the car isn’t quite finished yet but everyone keeps honking on about me getting Torque Thrusts. BORING, I don’t follow the crowd

How can one style of wheel make so many Cars look so good. I remember I had a Triumph Vitesse with them on it looked like a completely different car.

Loved my old Cooper with white Minilites..

Look good on a Marcos GT...





And a Piper GT...



I'm not normally keen on anything bigger than 10'' on a Mini but our neighbour's Cooper Sportpack looks great on its deep dish 13'' Minilites.

On my race Anglia, prefer them to the 4 spokes I also have. Your thoughts welcome on getting them powder coated white?

My old mk2 gt6, not sure really.

I've always loved Minilites on 60s/70s cars - just never had any.

Some great photos on here though.

That's a very smart looking Vitesse.

It was all going so well. But those are revolting.

I'd rather guide my grandpa into my grandma than run those.

Subaru GrpN Minilites from the rally car, looked good on the once colour coded to the car.

IMO they look good a any number of vehicles so I thought I'd share a few images from different shows.

Mopar muscle.

British classic,

The late Richard Lloyd's Camaro

Ford Falcon.


Regulation wear for Mini Seven Racing.

My Riley Elf (MWS copies unfortunately.

One thing is for sure that for basically the same wheel there are dozens of different variations on the same theme.
