Like the title says... has anyone used "Rave" arches? They say they're like W&P in style, but are a tad wider, and the price is certainly right:

I was thinking of going with 6X12 StarMag wheels and these look wide enough for 12s, but I wonder if anyone's actually used them?



Thanks!

 

Let me know how the flares go. I'm doing the Fiesta brake conversion and will need flares to cover the increase in track width. As far as RAVE - don't know. I used the Mini Special arches before and they were okay (also ABS)

Never heard any complaint on Starmags but you may want to visit a few more active classic boards before committing....

 

Why? What have you heard about the StarMags? They're the only real option I've found for classic Minis if you want a different look than the Minilite or Black Cat look...

I posted this same question on a UK board - hopefully someone from oter there will chime in...

 

As I said, I've never heard anything bad about Starmags, just not many of them in the states. Best to check elsewhere before purchase just for confirmation...good luck

PS, good looking rim..

 

Personally I bought the Revolutions, but I love the Mini-Lites rims as they make a Mini. BTW - Here is something to keep in the back of your mind. While at a couple classic carshows here in San Antonio, I was warned by other classic owners the new mod for Honda racer-boys is to mount the smallest tyres possible. Mini rims are what they want, but as you know they cost big bucks. Watch your wheels!

Maybe they'll start making more 10" wheels then. Woo hoo!

 

The Honda bolt circle isn't the same and I wonder how they'd stuff the brakes under a 10" rim?
