Arriving at the end of this month is a new variety of Staffs Slot Cars alloy wheels. This time Steve has given us a classic Minilite design -  ideal for race, rally and performance road cars from the 60's, 70's and into the 80s. Not just Minis. The wheels are 15.8mm in diameter and 8.5mm wide. The Staffs Minilites are being produced in these colours...

       

       

Plus blue and plain alloy. And, specially for Jeremy...

   

The new wheels will be stocked by Pendles in the UK. You can find the current range here: https://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/brand...-cars.html

A big thanks to Steve for this exclusive preview

Not very convincing are they?  The Minilite pattern is instantly recognisable and genuinely iconic in motorsport.

Remember - these are machined, not moulded. And in 1/32 scale. Here's another angle...

They look very similar to the SRC ones I have on my Escorts.
Painting the inside helps toward the illusion of Minilites, but still a compromise.



If the speed the SRC ones sold out in the UK is anything to go by, these will be hot sellers.

The Staffs Minilites are now available in the UK...

   

They look superb on the Teamslot Renault 5 Maxiturbo, where the original wheels were probably the weakest part of the model. Mine shall be getting the Staffs upgrade.
