Dog dishes?

Anyone ever see a new style MINI running dog dish wheels? I'm talking about old school VW style, with the white walls...

Not yet.
They are not that cheap! $200 a set of four standard discs
http://www.fusick.com/prod03.htm

I don't usually see this option for a MINI because the dish is really a hub cover that fits over a steel rim and the MINIs have alloy rims.

You could try for a disc like style alloy rim but the fitment has got to be roughly
4x100 bolt pattern +37mm to +48mm wheel offset.

If I find one I'll post a picture here.

Dog dish wheels to fit the MINI are rare.
I was looking for something like this-

But this one fits on a 1962 Ford Fairlane.

I guess it might work to get steel rims in a 4x100 bolt pattern and do custom hubcaps that match a dog dish design.
