Hi, Guys and Girls. New to the forum but not so new to mini's. 23 and on my 5th mini had from a station wagon to 3 Leyland clubmans 1100s and 1275s. (all went to good homes) Newest project is a little 1000cc mini bullnose complete ground up build. Few friends decided to build one up. Just a body, doors and a bunch of rust   Big Grin  will post pictures soon. Thanks for the add.

  13 Inch Wheels and Adapters
Posted by: BrentV - 01-13-2016, 02:48 PM - Forum: For Sale - Mini related - Replies (7)

    Hi all,

R4,500

I'm selling a set of 13" Wheels and Tyres to fit the classic Mini.

It comes with a set Alluminium Spacers that have been machined which are 2" wide. The Spaces bolt onto the existing Hub which is 101.6PCD. The wheels, at 100PCD, bolt onto the spacers. 

The tyres are the Yokohama A539's which offer all weather capability, added to the Mini's handility, ensure the vehicle is glued to the ground. I've not done more than 90KM's with these tyres.

Reason For selling: Looking to return to period type wheels.

Will entertain even swopping these if you have a decent set of 10" mistrals or minilites.

I will entertain selling the tyres, rims and adapters separately. 

R2200 - tyres

R1000 - Adapters
R1300 - Rims
