Your best bet is probably the Datto wrecker in Adelaide:

I know he ships. The Smithfield guy does not.

Hi Zordmaker, I noticed that you found a wrecker in Smithfield, I need a disc brake wheel hub ASAP. The struts and brakes I am fitting had a damaged hub, apparently where the wheel bearing must have given out so I need another hub. Could you please point me to this wrecker. PS. I live in beautiful Perth. Thanks. Matty :)

Struts are standard B110 with drums.

OK guys.. the decision has been made. Five 12" stock hubs now sitting outside the shed. Now to get busy with the sandblaster and paint then look for some quality rubber.

Oh yes, and if anyone has any, some original hubcaps.

Thanks for all the help.

What fronts struts do have in the car? By the sound of it I would be looking for some b310 sunny wheels and do the measurements on them.

Mini rims won't fit

But popular tyres for Mini Cooper will fit 1200 rims. I had the 4500 rpm at 120 kph tires, made a 2000 mile road trip. It was fun! And accelerated like 4.3 diff. Plenty of power at 120 kph. Plus they lower the vehicle moar.

As I understand, Minis used 10" tyres
Mini Cooper used 12" tyres

<Minisport still stocks a few options for 12" and 13">

Will the mini rims fit the '1200? +30 offset?

mini sized 175/50x13 tyres not only look ridiculous on 1200s, but you'll be doing 4100rpm at 100km/h and 4500rpm at 110km/h!!! Screw that!
205/60 is a much better size and still available from Nankang, Sumitomo, Federal here in Aus. The Federal 595 is a very grippy tyre. You can fit them on the back of 1200s with the right wheels and a bit of liping and massaging. The front would take a bit more work, or just use a 175/70 if you want the same OD (again thery're still available)
If you must have a small tyre at least stick with 185/60 which is the same height as the stock 155SR12 radial so you at least keep the stock gearign which is low enough! They fit easily under 1200s. Again, they're still available in Aus from Achilles, Falken, Silverstone, Hankook, Nankang... no need to resort to mini tyres.
