Well did you know...
Genuine SPORTSPACK wheels are 13x6.
And they are available new :wink:
The offset is supposedly the same as Performance's Superlites, too.

Minispurt in sa here sells them.
Unsure of price.
Most places should be able to get them for you.
But minisport are pretty competetive on prices.

BTW you WONT find genuine arches anywhere - aftermarket unfortunately.
They are "crap" compared to the originals, but can be made to look awesome.
Plus, its what everyone else uses, so you're in the same boat :lol:

My car, 3 years ago, with sportspacks and 13x6's.

In my opinion, the rear wheels needed to be stepped out another 20mm ontop of the stepped drums (each side) to fill the arches properly, the fronts were fine.

Yep, but look at the Sportspack minis (dealer pics and stuff) and they are almost IDENTICAL - offset side of things.

Nothing an alfoil spacer couldn't fix.

Sportspack wheels weigh a ****** ton compared to Superlights.. :shock:
If you must have bigass wheels, I'd go the latter. Cheaper too here I bet. :wink:

yeah i think ill go with the superligts although i hear there heavy mothers too
but oh well my main concerns with tens are the final gear ratio with the gti and brakes i think i would rather the biggest disks possible for ease of engineering and price also

dont get me wrong nothing is sexier then a classic looking mini with fat little 10s with sticky rubber BUT i think the 13s will help my cause

and look pretty sexy themselves :twisted:
