Default Hey Twin_Turbo. . .

You were right.

I was looking for wheel caps for my Western Wheels if you remember.
You kept saying they looked like minilites to you. All I knew was that they were Western.
Well, I found a site that has the wheels and the caps. akhwheels.com
They called them Western Minilites.
Just thought you might want to know that. :yesnod:

LOl they are westerns and just copied the minilite name I think. Minilite is a brand on its own :) It's a british brand that became popular on MGs, austins and the mini for racing and hillclimb applications. This is their site and their logo (IXXI) http://www.minilite.co.uk/

Oh yea, make em gold :D

Yep.
Sounds about right.
Just like everyone copying the Torq Thrusts these days.
