Difference between super lights and mini lights?

All to do with the depth of the rim I believe  superlights normally have a polished slightly deeper rim, and then ultralights have the very deep rims |

I've heard that the 'Minilife' alloy wheel is far closer to the look of the original 1960's 'Minilite' alloy wheel than the actual wheels that are available from 'Minilite' today?  |

Not sure to be honest mate, but got plenty of pics if you want a look? |

minilite was a rim that could be driven on even if the tyre was demolished. ideal in the day for rallying purposes. todays minilites are nothing of the kind they are a cheaper imitation. ultralites are usually a dish of 2inchs, depending on size (13x7) etc. and superlights have slightly different spoke styling.
