10" Chrome Wheels for Classic Mini

Does anyone know of a company that produces them? If not do you know of a company that will dip them in chrome for me. I would like to have some chrome rims for my mini, the problem is it is an original and if I get anything wider I will have to put fender flares on it and I don't want to do that. Any ideas????


Thanks,
Sunkist

I would contact Dave at Great British Cars. http://www.gbcarparts.com/products.asp I don’t see chrome wheels on his website but he can get just about anything for much less than anybody I have found in the US. His email is: sales@greatbritishcars.com

I would think there should be several places to buy chrome 10" wheels if you are in England like your post says. I think the flares have to cover the wheel and tire in England,but that isn't the case here in the U.S. I personally think it looks better covered,but that's just my opinion. Phil

I'll buy the steel wheels on your Orange City Mini when you find the chrome replacements.

Didn't realize you are in the UK. Have you tried MWS - Midland Wheel Supply?
