The Minilites on the TR6 picture I pointed you all to are 6".  The 7" on my

TR6 are slightly more aggressive.  The monster-width Minilites on the Mangusta

on page 85 (middle picture) of Wyss' book, and the wheels on the Shelby American

and Bud Moore Engineering BOSS 302's do look much better.  For any Triumph

nuts out there, check out Robsons Book "Competition Triumphs" for monster-width

Minilites on the factory TR8's.



Campys are my first choice, but if I could afford the $$, I'd also have Minilites

and swap them for fun!  Just to be different!
