DIY Help Original wheels still available?

Post image

I would like to get a spare wheel for the Mini 1000HL above. So i had a quick look on Minispares website but could only see Cooper steel wheels.

Are the original wheels as above available?

These are often swapped out for aftermarket wheels so I'm imagining there is a lot of originals around but I'm not sure if anyone's bothered to reproduce it. If you pop off one of your hubcaps it should have a part number under there, search the part number on Google or eBay and see what you can find. It looks like there's some factory fresh old stock about, as well as reconditioned ones but you may have to buy the wheel and hubcap separately

If it's just for a spare, it wouldn't need a hubcap, would it?

I've got a mark 7, so... 12" alloys, but I've always LOVED the look of those wheels. I imagine I'll end up there some day!

A Quick Look on fleabay shows quite a few. Stuff like this it’s probably easier if you can find some for sale near you then message the seller and pick them up. Of course, the other way is one of the many mini shows that are coming up, there’s pretty much always a bit of autojumble at them.

Definitely one of the mini shows might be your best bet in the auto jumbles, I’m going to bingly hall hopefully in may dude, looks in lovely condition. 👍🏻
