MiniLites for sale

[MPlayle]

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

[MPlayle]

Did your wife give permission?

[Willie_B]

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,

Wife did give permission but I think I will have to pass. Please let Willie B know. Thanks.

[MPlayle]

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?

[Willie_B]

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
