With Mini's I always say 10's are best as when I had my first one it was a later one which had 12 inch wheels which had the later 8.4 setup as standard which were not the best

so when funds were good I purchased a brake kit which was to convert the front brake setup to take 10 inch wheels using 7.5 Cooper S calipers, discs, pads & drive flanges, then at the first Mini show I took it to which was British Mini Day 2015 at Himley Hall in the Midlands I found a set of proper magnesium 6x10 slot mags which were straight but needed a refurb so I haggled a bit with the seller & managed to get them for £50, had them refurbished, I remember it was difficult to find someone at the time who would touch magnesium rims but I found someone in Guildford who did a really good job on them for a very reasonable amount at the time & I put them on with the Cooper S brake setup which totally transformed the car, better handling, better ride & excellent brakes so the £500 mark outlay at the time was worth every penny

in fact I still have those wheels 10 years on sitting in my sister's loft & they still look brand new. I remember with that Mini I used to go through 2/3 whole sets of tyres per year at anything between £300-£400 a set as I drove it how a Mini's meant to be driven & beyond

sideways, in the air, flat out I did it all

I remember my sister's mate said she was going towards Goodwyns roundabout in Dorking one summers day down the main road which bypasses the town & all of a sudden she saw me emerge from the line of cars she was driving behind, overtake 5 cars in one hit & went flat out into the roundabout without braking, going sideways & come out the other side

she saw me at home a few days later when she was visiting my sister & asked me how fast I was going when she saw me a few days before, I went "about 95 ish, I bet it looked good though"

she said "your nuts, I was looking thinking surely he's going to brake but you didn't & just threw it in"
