8 x 13" used mini wheels wanted - where to look?

[Edmundo2]

Required for a single seater. Condition not that important but need to be straight/safe etc..Need to be Revolutions or Alleycats, ( due to sleeve nut/washer fitment ). I've been searching classifieds for weeks but no joy. Any suggestions re clubs/forums that might use this spec? Ed.

Just trying to keep spend down really. I've got a long list of winter jobs inc new battery, new harness, new slicks, dyno set up, geo/corner weights, new seat, etc..etc..which is likely to run to a fair few quid

I'll buy new if I need to but house move, impending second child, etc..means I'd sooner spend £100 or so on a used pair than £250/£300 on new, ( there only for use in practice so as to save better tyres for timed events ). I thought I'd find plenty for sale but I think mini fitment is understandably at odds with this width therefore their not two a penny.

They do come up occasionally on ebay. You could also try keeping an eye on the Imp Club forum, larger width wheels come up there (very) occasionally.

One of my cars is Imp based has Compomotive 4" PCD 8x13 at the front and 10x13 at the rear, but they are split rims (and not for sale!)

Thanks for info. I do watch the Imp club site quite a bit as I've had a passion for them since being a kid when my dad used to grass track an Imp Californian. His was standard spec engine but the imps/stilettos in class 4 running 998'cc's were superb little things. I still fancy a fast road Stiletto or Ginetta G15 but space currently prevents.
