I always associated Minilites with British cars and Wats with Japanese cars. I recall the Mini Cooper in the 60s with those tiny 8 spoke Minilites. Weren't those 10" diameter rims? I know they were small.

Minilites were like the name says, first seen on the Cooper minis. http://www.minilitewheels.com/

Being light and strong, the Mustangs and Camaros started using them on road courses, and they became associated with racing and speedy stuff since.

You missed you calling; you should have been a writer for Wikipedia.:)

Do you know who John Facenda was? (Rest his soul) If you don't know who he was, he was the narrator for NFL films. I can just hear him saying the second sentence in your previous post.

for those interested in seeing different combinations of wheels/rims there is a good thread at hybridz under the thread 'Wheel Show!" (yes, i know, they are not all stock rims :))
