Well they come with 13" wheels as standard, why would you want to go smaller than that?

Base spec models came with 12" steels, not sure if you can go smaller, depends on whether they will fit over the brakes!!

13's.

Low and wide will look more like the typical Euro style. Perfect!

Smaller will just look like a rollerskate made out of tin.

Have you been smoking crack or something today Pete?
don't think you could cope from going from neigh on 300bhp to whatever the mighty 1.1 pushes out

NOT that there is anything wrong with mk1 Fiestas

I can't see that anything close to 10" will fit, I know that on the minis 10" wheels will only fit if you have drum brakes on the front, and mini front discs/calipers don't really come much smaller!

Stick with 12s or 13s mate. Slam it on them would still look sweet.

Except from yours Mancsy

10's would probably look too small, 13's are the way foward, can get semi decent brakes then!!! 13's and slammed, FTW!!!

Tyres are actually not that easy to get!!! Both my mk1's run 175/50/13's, which is what some minis run standard, but Bridgestone have stopped making this size as there not that common apparantly
