The standard Cooper S wheels are fine without flares (except in SA)

I'd like to see how these go, they'd be lighter and be nice and round!

Has anyone experienced these wheels and how hard is it to get the hub caps?

I have what appears to be a "firsat" steel wheel here. back spacing is 10mm less than my contessas.

they fit comfortably over the disks, just not sure its the "look" I want.

that'd be a genuine Clubman GT wheel... don't give it away!

Did clubman gt wheels have 4 or 8 vents? This has 4!

Thanks guys, I'll have to keep my eyes open for some s wheels. (unicorn tears and hens teeth too while I'm at it)

Cheers,

Sorry if this question has been covered before, I have disks and spaced drums on my 66 van but want steel wheels without flares, preferably 4.5". I'm guessing reverse rims will stick out too far, Mini spares has 10x4.5's apparently from a deluxe would they be more suitable? Cheers, Silas

Non S wheels (at least none that I've been able to find) do not fit over S discs (well, they can be bolted on but generally won't rotate). Deluxe didn't have 4.5" wheels so maybe they are actually S rims??? I would be surprised if they weren't happy to discuss fitment if you expressed interest. Cheers, Ian
