Title: Minilite Wheel
Post by: Dan C 2624R on Wednesday,November 13, 2019, 05:23:53 PM

I have a line on a set of minilite wheels  but the 4th went missing during the owners last move.
So I am looking to see if a single is available from someone in the collective (US East Coast, preferred) to complete the set.

Thanks in advance.

 If you can't find a used one, Minilite is still in business (https://www.minilitewheels.us).

Okay, still waiting on some info but they are:

"Aluminum set of 13" panasport style rims 2@ 6" and 2@7" wide."  Not panasport but similar.  See picture.

Those are nice, I like the staggered fitment.  Good luck with finding the missing wheel.

Four made it for the picture, but only 3 found their way to wherever they were going?  Hmmm.  I suggest that you be specific about the width, bolt circle etc. that you're looking for.  Many options out there.  I was surprised recently to find out how non-standard wheel studs are!

Maybe they would be great for somebody with a Messerschmidt or Morgan 3-wheeler.   ;D
