Already sub'd to Steve's channel, he's so knowledgeable and a joy to watch. Now to make myself unpopular, I'd put hubcaps on the original wheels and replace the tyres with Yokohamas.....I'll get my coat 😂
My clubman estate had 10" mini special wheels drums all round. I've got 7.9s and same wheels fit on little bit of poke. I need new tyres and the wheel weights moving in to miss the calipers.
People would say mini and ADO16 gearboxes were awful and refer to them as stirring a pudding back in the 1970's but all these people were crap drivers. I loved them and the sound they make is amazing
This is my old van! (I'm the magnetagz guy) Great to see her in good hands, I felt awful Curtis has issues with her but glad to hear it was just silt as she never let me down. I'll definitely be subscribing and keeping up with her new life... Even though its a little hard to see her and not mine 😂 P.s, although I loved the white walls n steelis, those rose pettles look great. 👍
He just gets away with it mate as his van was manufactured before the cut off date. It goes off the build date not the registration date I remember Steve looking into it when the new rules came out
Hi Mike, as Toony mentions, mine is a 1979 build. This has been confirmed by Heritage at Gaydon, and the DVLA have agreed mine can wear them based on that date. But you're right, it's cutting it fine, but to be honest, most coppers wouldn't know anyway 😂
13" wheels on a mini is only good for a racetrack, which needs proper setting up! On the road its just horrible to drive (my 1996 Blue Star Spi had factory-fitted Rover SportPack 6x13") and I've driven better.. Friend of mine converted his 1998 Mpi to S-brakes and 6x10 Revolution with Yokohama 008's which made it great fun to drive! 63bhp dont need more than 7,5" S-brakes. A proper Mk1-3 S' had 76bhp and was alright with those brakes. Still think Steve is doing the right thing trying to fit 7,9" discs. Oh and the Mini's suspension was designed for 10" wheels, so go figure why it handles best with them.
Nice Van, I've got a '72 pickup (videos on my channel!) Hope to see you at some of the shows when they reopen! Let me know if you fancy a joint video with the pickup someday! Btw, stick with the steelies on a commercial! No to the rose petals!

@@turbocoopersport3730 that's fine there's no need to get your ass in your hand why ask for opinions? Then take offence? You've already mind your mind up obviously!

Imho those white steels and white wheels look super nasty and cheap. It's not a vw and white walls look odd on that size wheel. Clean tyres and rosepetals or an alt 10'' wheel look a lot better and work a lot better. Steels in their original silver would also look far better. 13'' should not even be crossing your mind haha. Don't cut the panels. Just my 2 pence.
The Rose petals are mint but I’m going with the white wall steelies!
ROSEPETALS! (Really loud ha ha!) beautiful van Steve - rock on boys....
10ish deep dish steels all the way on the van look mint
The standard white wheels, definately.
Loved this boys, looking forward to seeing where this build goes!
White walls as it makes the wheels look bigger and the tyres look lower profile
Lovely van rose petals look great on it👍
Rose petals Steve looks better of the two, will be watching how you progress with the new van!
Rose petals defo

Steve go with the rose petals! Love your Van, especially the front grill!
Thanks chap 🥰
Thanks Chaps. Van is lovelly steve
No problem ladddy

Always liked the rose petals, but the white walls look excellent on the van, get them banded, and then you're sorted.
This is my old van! (I'm the magnetagz guy)

No way! So glad you found it
Rose petal wheels would suit it better, it's a lovely vehicle, it's my dream car, as I would love a LHD minivan.
White wall, all day long, stunning 👍👍
Keep the white walls and buy me the rose petals! 👌😘
Personally revolutions for spoke to revolution wheels. Yokohama tires boshhh lovely jublery nice motor RC40 exhaust
Great van , steel wheels for me .. 👍🏻
White wheels , mini van was my first vehicle £350.00 in 1965 ,
white wall ones looks better from here
Magic
How scary are the drum brakes? I never actually used my drums, changed them asap
where did the led headlights come from they're tops
Rose petals are nice but I’d just get the chrome hub caps back on, they look too white at the moment. Maybe even colour code the hub caps ?
Fully agree about the hubcaps, I'd put Yoko's on them instead
rose petals all the way!
How he get led light on a mini omg that make mine look so much better
Definitely Rosies...👍🏻
Steelies+white walls for me 👍
I would say the whitewalls, more suited for the Mini Van. I would say the other ones is more suited for the Cooper S/Clubman.
Definitely rose petals 🤩
The rose petals look great!!
Love a Mini van 👍👍
Me too, i dont know what it is about them but they are just so cool.
The White Ones look the best
Like the white walls more as the white contrasts nicely with the black van.
Hi Chap's, as much as the white walls look cool-different, it has to be the rose-petals...they are gorgeous! 😍
not a fan of either really, sorry steve 😁 i'd go for reverse rims with slick yoko's
Rose petals 👌👍
Great job, but you guys speak so fast. What part of England are you from, what local dialect? Understood the most though. Greetings from Belgium!
Counteroffer. Dunlop D1’s on Yokohama AO32s
Rose Petals for me
Steels are great but very little comes close to a rose petal on a mini...
Oh and rose petals all day long
Hi mate wheres the links 👍
scottgas58 in the description mate
Keep the white walls, get some centre caps?
Be careful man . Those black plates are illegal on a 1980 .

You need an estate, seats fold down and you have windows in the back
No ta.
Rose petals!
White wheels mate
Mini cooper S reversed steelies
rose petals with white walls ?
white wheels lose the whitewall tyres

I need 13s on the cooper for grip. And they look cool.
I've heard he's putting a micra engine in it 😕
Nope 😬
Would look better with a set of five and a half j
cooper reverse rims and hubcaps
Rose petals for me. 👍
Whitewall steelies 😍

Hi Mate, just subscribed! Yeah i maybe starting to involve subscribers cars in the future as part of a new playlist i am working on
Rose Petals all day
I have a matchbox minivan🎉
Petals boys, white walls look shite 👍
Wheel options? whatever Steve likes, its his car, but if it was mine, Rose Petals all day long.
Rose petal
Rose petals - they look cool in black.
Must agree the rose petals look by far the best! The white steel wheels spoilt the look entirely 😃👍
Entirely? Bit strong fam.
You were asking for opinions that was mine when those white Weller style wheels first came about they where only classed as the poor cousin to a set of alloys
