I have an opportunity to grab these, 12" steel rims with hubcaps and a spare, for $150. . tires are pooched.
What do you think?
If that's the look you like, seems like a decent deal to me.....I haven't seen them in 12's before. Didn't even know they made them....
yeah, google searches produced nothing. came off a car from Japan.
I've never heard of 12s either
The wheels aren't rare, but the hubcaps are somewhat rare.

Wheels are stock base Mini City type wheels which had plastic? hub caps, the chrome/stainless hubcaps are a aftermarket Japanese item i believe.
Cool! Those centers give a bit of 'retro' styling.
One of the things I regret is that I gave a set of 12" wheels and Bridgestone Blizzak tires away a few years ago and later sold a set of 12" MiniLife wheels with Yoko A510 tires to the same clubmember. She lost the car, wheels and absolutely everything when her brother's shop burned down. A real shame; I was hoping to one day buy the wheels back.
I still haven't popped on them, the ad is still up on Craigslist
That is the same tire and hubcap combo that came on my Mini from Japan. The only complaint is that those hub caps tend to rattle. I have managed to track down most of the noise with some weather stripping to take up some of the sloppy fit.
I like the retro style.
