Anybody know if Mamba wheels are any good.And anybody have any spare wheel nuts for them as i believe they are a shouldered type.

hi there.

i use mamba's (see my profile) and i like the look of them (i think i have about 8 wheels in total) but and this is a big but, if you use mamba's your choice of brakes is either drums or 7.5 discs with standard calipers and that is at a squeeze, i think my next set of wheels will be revolutions purely because there is more space in the back of the wheel.

mambas arent made anymore so you will have to buy 2nd hand so be careful with them as i've heard that mambas can warp and buckle easily.

wheel nuts are the same type of sleeve nuts as the ones used on revolutions i believe by comparing the two.

Honestly I swear they used to do 12" Mambas!! I saw a set at a show around 7 years ago. I love the look of them and my father has always wanted a set so if anyone has some for sale I'll take them. I woudn't mind them on my Cooper S.

i think the 12" mambas where made for imps, ive seen a couple of imps with them on, and a particually horrific mk1 escort van that used to cruise around the streets of hull with 12" mambas and a big 'drag racer' scoop on the bonnet!! the combination of the huge scoop and the small wheels didnt really have the desired look...:-)

i always think they look a little odd due to the extra length of the spokes.

These Mambas i've seen are 10" and are selling for £80 with tyres.
