  • Roadster on Minilites .. any pics ?

    Hi,
    My Marlin Roadster (Mk1) currently is on 13" 'Chrome 8 Spokes', I've always liked the look of minilites on other cars but am not sure if they suit the Roadster..

    I don't remember any cars at Stoneleigh this year with Minilites on , so would like a reference point ...

    Does anyone have any pics of Roadsters with Minilites on I'd be grateful to see ?

    Before you ask, the existing Chrome wheels look OK from afar, but are pitting badly in a couple of places !

    Thanks .. Richard

        I think they suit the Roadster well:

                  Is there no casting ID or number? A quick dance at your spare, assuming you have one, will tell.
