Just have to say a massive thanks to Carl at Force Racing (NTDWM) as these bits of anodised CNC goodness turned up in the post today!

absolutely can't wait to see the difference moving from 14x6 Minotuar minilites with 195 Yoko A048s all round to these, which are 13x5.5 front
and 13x6.5 rear on which I will run 185 and 205 Toyo R888s respectively instead.
I never got a chance to weigh the old wheels & tyres, but these are 3.33 kg front and 3.64 kg rear for the rims only so I suspect the total will
be significantly less.
..roll on Feb/March time when the car is going back on the road/track...
cheers,
Pat

WOW! They look fantastic! Just been on the website and they even do 10" for minis. Think I will start saving for a set.

if only, i could afford them!
Thats not a bad price for some serious nice looking and light weight rims. They are custom. . .
Great looking rims. I can't say I've ever seen any quite like them.

I've seen these used on a Westfield which sprints and they are lovely wheels....very envious
Oh, they are sweeeet!
thanks for the comments guys. I'll be sure to get some more pics up once the car is back on the road in the new year!
Pure automotive porn
Right sorry it's taken so long, but here they are on the car.
Had to buy these Richbrook valves, the wheels are designed with these in mind and they do seem very good. £14/set from ebay:
(other colours are available!)

Love them!
look great, I would love a set will have to see if I can save up for some.
Any chance of an update on the wheels?
Hi mate,
I got a set of these myself, really pleased with them.. Had them a year or so now, only used for motorsport.
I sold my car in March unfortunately, but not before I had done a couple of thousand miles on the wheels with no issues, including two days at Spa and
Brands Hatch back-to-back!!
I am actually considering asking Carl to make me another set for my current Lotus Exige project albeit in larger sizes, 16" or 17" if he
can..
Here are a few more pics of the wheels on my car just before I sold it:

bear in mind if you have some made though you will need to provide Carl with all the measurements of your calipers/uprights, not just the PCD and
offset you want, as he has to make sure the back of the spokes and back of the rim bolts are clear.
They are stunning... I'd have gone for a set had I not recently bought a set of MB Racing mags.

What width of wheel and size of tyre do you use. The tyres sit really well on them.
