Casbar Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Go to www.superlite-wheels.co.uk or phone them, they will be pleased to tell you the difference!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Gillet Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Eric, I think that the differences are weight and aspect ("finitions"), the superlite being superior. Cheers, Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Personally, I prefer the minators. The finish is better and they just look better made. Both are good though. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 earlier this year I had a set of each, both brand new and the physical differences where minimal, the biggest being that the 'spokes' in the minators where not as pronounced as the superlites, in that they didn't stick out as much. Does this make any difference to performance? I do not know the finish on them both seemed comparable, however the minators had a crappy plastic cover for the middle of the wheel whilst the superlites had an almost crappy metal cone I doubt there is much in it when comparing the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon wilson Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 The Caterham parts dept claimed they switched to Minator beacause Superlite weight quality control went up the pictures so that sets of wheels were beyond acceptable weight variations - I have no idea if this is actually true.....

elie boone Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 If you want minilight style wheels that are really good go for Panasport wheels. 6x13"= 4,853kg 7x13"= 5kg And they have a perfect finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Only yesterday I asked John Vicker at Millwood (01453-544321), the Caterham dealers in Gloucestershire, about a set of 'minilite' clones. He said that he could supply a set of genuine Minilites (2x6" and 2x7" or 2x8") with polished rims and black centres for £365 + VAT.
