One thing is for sure that for basically the same wheel there are dozens of different variations on the same theme.
That's because a lot of the wheels posted in this thread are not actually real Minilites.....

Like that a lot. Even a regular Z3 would benefit from running those I reckon.

So much better than wires. Only bicycles should have wire spoked wheels.

Love the thread, but they just make the car look like a kit-car IMHO. Classic cars need to have a 'period correct' wheel diameter and tyre profile otherwise they just don't look right.
