Hi Guys and Girls,

Just wondering if anyone has bought the Supertrax 13x7 wheel for their Mini's.

See here:
http://www.minispares-online.co.uk/?cat_id=1&sub_cat_id=13&prod_id=2193

I think there is at least one person who has bought them for their van, I just cant remember who that is.

My question is, how does the offset compare with the 13x7 Superlites from Perfomance Wheels? Do they stick out as far as the Superlites? How do they fill the Sportspak or Zeemax flares?

Any info gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
Tricky

Pretty sure that Josh (Mini Mad) has a set of those on his starlet clubbie.

Josh had a different kind: http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59735

I think the supertrax look way hotter than the superlights, although it is hard to fully comment as I don't know what your colour scheme will be like.

Supertrax (offset: +7 on Huddersfield's site) and Superlight (offset: -7). The superlight should sit 14mm further out, since they are the same 7" width.

Yeah, good work Joe.

I have emailed Dave a few questions about them.

I thought I had seen them on a Mini somewhere - thanks again.

Cheers,
Tricky

nah don't get them they are crap. Especially in matte black. Will look crap on your car.... haha. Only kidding. I like having wheels not many people have.

As discussed they are supposedly the same offset as a 13X6 wheel but are 13X7. They fit nicely under sportspak arches. Here are some pictures that might show more.

Yep, I sure did!!

They weighed in at 12.56kg per corner with tyres!!! :shock:

That is a lot of unsprung weight. I can shave about 3.0-3.5kg off this with the SuperTrax apparently!

Matt me Ol' Mate and Sparring Partner - what did you have in mind?? Obviously, they will be DOT approved! :D

Cheers,
Tricky
