For Sale: Set of 4 MiniLite wheels with sleeved lug nuts - no center caps.
I am going to a different style on the Moke project, so these are now available. They have all appearances of being a genuine set of earlier MiniLites - no markings could be found. They seem to be 4.5" x 10" and are in very good condition. Previous owner of the Moke had the faces painted a silver/grey. The have the correct sleeved lug nuts (full set of 16).
Asking $160.00 USD (buyer pays shipping costs from 78232).

Very interested. Do you know the inner dimentions? Wondering if they will fit over my breaks. I am going to see if the wife will give me permission to buy them.
One of the planned upgrades to the Moke is a change to 7.5" front disk brakes.
I checked all of the rims to be sure they fit over the assembled disk brake hubs and calipers that I have for installing on the Moke. I did so by setting a fully assembled hub into each rim, snugging up the lug nuts finger tight and spinning the hub to check clearance. None had any rubbing or clearance issues.
Sweet. I will talk to the wife on Friday. Hope she says yes. Just have to get her permission
Did your wife give permission?
I am interested if he passes and they are still for sale.
Willie_B,
I'll keep you updated if/when I hear further.
Cheers,
Michael Playle
Wife did give permission but I think I will have to pass. Please let Willie B know. Thanks.
Dmulder,
Thanks for letting me know. Sorry you have to pass on them.
Willie_B,
It looks like they are yours. If you are still planning on coming down to the "Spring Drive", I can hold them for you to take back at that time and let you save the shipping costs?
Still planing to attend, I was thinking the same thing about picking them up then.
Willie, Michael,
If Willie's plans change, I call dibs on them:) I'm in Fort Worth and can arrange collection. BTW, are they offset for drum brakes or Cooper S brakes?
Regards,
Chris
Chris,
As noted in another post above, I verified they clear the 7.5" Cooper-S disk brakes. The Moke currently has drums all around, so they will work for either type of brakes.
I'll keep you as 'next in line' for them behind Willie_B.
Cheers,
Michael Playle
is this set sold yet?
I saw WillyB hauling them away last week.
Sorry, too much going on and I forgot to update the posting. Posting title updated now.
Yes, Willie_B bought them and picked them up at the Spring Drive.
