Just fitted a 12" wheel - how small does it feel!

Just fitted a 12" Mountney wheel to my Indy in place of the Sierra dustbin lid

It feels minute

Driven the car and it seems OK so far, not to heavy and easier on the knees

Iv got a 10 inch on mine. Seems ok. I can palm the wheel easily.

I used to have a 10 in my mini.. My sister drove it and hated it cos the wheel was so small.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
