Minilites in 185x70x13 for a ford

[sjp]

They are for a Panther Kallista (so they are Ford hubs)...

I saw some photos of a panther with minilites fitted and they really suited the car, unfortunatly he lives in the land of Oz so i need a suplier closer to home

I know plenty of cater-fields use minilites so where do you all get them from?

I live near manchester (stockport), so is there anywhere local to me that supplies them?

Id quite like somewhere local so they could check the offsets etc for me.

Failing that a decent mail order lace would be a start.

For some reason, the great and wise Google wasent much use last night!

I bought Ultralites (like minlites but a bit beefier) for my 1275 mini from Minisport. They're in Padiham in Lancashire (not far from you). I bought a set of 4 wheels with Falken tyres for £280. They were 12". You could also look at Superlites, which are really smart deep dish minlites with a shiny dish. They look very nice indeed.

Check out www.minisport.com
They have workshops so they will probably be able to look at the car and check out the offset - I'm not entirely sure if they source non-mini offset wheels, but you can only ask. I can't say that I've been totally happy with their service but the wheels have been OK.

Make sure they supply you with decent wheel nuts - the ones they sent me went rusty might quickly, and so did the replacements. There's nothing worse than rusty nuts. The wheels are absolutely great quality though.

For that size tyre you'll want a 5 1/2 or 6x13 wheel.

You can get both those sizes of Minilite from Midland Wheels, who obviously aren't local to you but do mail order. See www.midlandwheels.com
