Tim T Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Getting fed up with the wire wheels on my 5 and am considering getting some minlites. Does anybody have a royal blue 5 with Surrey/hard top and mini lites who could send me a photo please to help convince me. Very many thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jerrytr5 Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Not minilites but might give you food for thought. Sorry, only seems to load photos upside down today. Jerry Edited August 4, 2023 by jerrytr5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jerrytr5 Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Compomotive 5 spoke. Think they're discontinued now. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeTR5 Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Suggest you look at GC360enterprises.com Nice repros of the original American Racing Silverstone (oem for TR5 & 250) and ARE Lemans (oem for the 6). Either is much better looking the any of the various repros of the minilites or panasports in my opinion.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malbaby Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I would dump the wire wheels on "safety" issue alone. Hard to beat the "minilite" look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Read Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 I did the opposite. swapped my alloys for wires. I found the alloys a real pain to remove and refit compared to wires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
