Ever seen 10" Rostyles?
I came across this add for a Mini GT and it has 10" Rostyle rims! Has anyone seen these before? They are seriously cute!

Quite a lot of the Minis came out std with them - it was standard on the GTS in the early 80's. As with the Beetle I think it was a South Africa option only (not 100% certain). Some of the Austin Apaches also used the rostyles.

Re: Ever seen 10" Rostyles?
Rostlye rims were not VW specific... and were made by the British firm of Rubery Owen, believe it or not.
They made wheels for amongst others:
Leyland Mini
Austin Mini
Austin Apache
Austin Marina
VW Beetle
MG Midgets
Rovers
Ford Cortina 1600E
Ford Capris
And Range Rovers until 1985/6
I cant think of any more..

Original 1275 GTS minis' came out with 12 inch mags to compensate for the discbrakes' calipers.
