They're 2 inches smaller than the ones Jack is looking at, and half the price. They're not carried stock either, they have to be imported from the UK
They're not tiny either, 10"s are tiny...I want them instead actually, but 10" rims won't clear the callipers
Just find some brake bits off a really old one with sliding windows and external door hinges, drums all round, problem solved, as long as you dont wanna go too fast!
drums on the front 
The Cooper S came with 7.5" discs I could swap over, the trouble is it's at least €400 for a conversion kit, not including the new alloys or rubber, minifin drums all around aren't far behind it either 
I'll stick with the 8.4" discs on it, they've some hope of at least slowing me down 
Drums on the front aren't that bad, the car only weighs 600kg

That's a lot of screwing around and spending money just to get cheap tires
The tyres are more expensive too for 10" rims, as you have to get the big 195/50 R10's so they don't look ridiculously narrow I dread to think how much they'd cost, for a decent brand it's more than likely going to be at least €100 a corner, they're not exactly mass produced
Cars in general are a lot of screwing around, I've different size tyres front and rear (145/50 front as opposed to 155/60 rear) as two needed replacing due to perished rubber, plus a different sized spare (165/40, low profile :tilt
too

too That's not how a bike turns. That's how a bike initiates and completes a turn.
im pretty sure physics dicate that a bike completes (i assume by that you mean exists) a turn by steering more into the turn
which fits with the word 'countersteering' just fine.
Toyo T1R's from Camskill 
The motion is the same regardless of whether you want to complete a left turn, initiate a right turn, or both at the same time. You're steering the front wheel left and rolling right. Likewise but in the opposite direction for rolling left.
Jakg: Sorry for the threadjack.
Erm..... turning into your existing turn is countersteering? Hmm
yes, because you turn into your existing turn to stop it
it does the opposite of what your intuition tells you it will do
anyway the mechanics of a two wheel vehicle are quite complicated...
very good tyres BUT they wear down fast for road use as an 'affordable' tyre.
that's what i am going to be buying for my twingo though
i prefer to spend more on tyres and less on other things, if i have to make a choice.

Do you know how old your current tires are? Cos that can make a BIG difference. Just replacing tires that are a few years old with a brand new set can make a HUGE difference. I bought a set of wheels that had some old tires on, they turned out to be about 5 years old, and although they had plenty of tread, and were a good quality tire, they were incredibly dangerous in the wet due to their age.
