I'm upgrading my 1300 Hillclimb/sprint Mini from the 5" GB alloys and Yoko A032R's to 6" alloys with Dunlop Racing 160/490 - 10's.I would have liked to go the Spectrum/MB 7" rim route but can't justify the £500+ investment.

I see Midland wheels on e-bay have Revolution 6x10's at £125 a set inc. bolts and delivery which is tempting but they won't 'guarantee' them for competition and I suspect they are made in China.

Any comments/advice/offers etc gratefully received.

Thanks again chaps.

Gareth,

I'm sure Carl will reply , but in conversation with him last week that is exactly what he can do. He machines off the front rim of the Mini Special wheel , drills for (32?) screw/bolts and fixes on a new rim to make the 7" wide version.

Luckily I have a set in the garage and providing they are suitable for conversion I will post a pic when complete.
