Who has bridge spokes?

[lbmcs]

Hi NAMers,
Who out there has bridge spokes? How do you find them?

Regards,
Craig.

I got Bridge Spokes for my '06 JCW to go with Dunlop Wintersport D3s. One of the few 16"s to clear the front brakes.

I got them from Classic, but now that they're a factory option wheel, take-offs should be available....

I have the bridge spokes. To find them, I center my view on the lower portion of the side of the car, and look slightly left or right. They're the round metal things with the black rubber around them.

LOL dneal! Romi is also equipped with 16" bridge spokes. I found them on the Mini configurator.

I was just searching for pictures of bridge spokes tires here yesterday. I found very few. Most people seem to have the crown spokes or custom aftermarket wheels. I am also trying to decide if I should get bridge spoke for now and upgrade later to black wheels. I like web spokes 17" better, but that adds over 1K to the price tag. It is probably easier to resell the web spokes later than the bridge spokes though...

[dneal]

I couldn't decide on what wheels I wanted. I got the bridge spokes so I could use them for snow tires later, when I decide what I'm going to put on the car.

The bridge spokes are standard on the Cooper version of the Sidewalk. Dougal has them but eventually we'll probably replace them with Panasports.

I have bridge spokes as well. You can see some photos in my gallery.

I've got bridge spokes. Love the way they look as I felt the other 16" wheels were too busy. Wish they were wider though- only 6.5", would rather they be 7. I'm thinking at some point getting after-market wheels and using the bridges for winter.

[Skuzzy]

Oh, I will be doing after-market wheels. BBS has a nice set I really like. I'll also be looking at Michelin Pilot tires when the run-flats need replacing, or if I can fund a buyer for them, I might just replace them ASAP.

dneal, thank you...."the black rubber around them" was the clue I needed

Sounds like most of you are comfortale with as a second set rather your "most desired" option.

Like Need, I have opted for the Bridge Spokes because of the price hike on a set of Web Spokes. Unlike you guys in the US, I don't need winter and summer tyres in Australia....one size (type) fits all works well here.

I'll have to wait and see what they are like to live with in day to day driving I guess....my car is due end of July/early August.

I hate the wait....

i ordered the bridg spoke on my also. i like the way the look, but will buy after markets one day probably

We picked our bridge spokes as our primary set. Winters here are harsh, but we rely on our driving skills and all season tires. Never felt the need to switch to a "cold wether tire". *G*
I noticed that the bspokes are real popular with the Dark Silver folks. I didn't do a head count, but I did see it as a trend.

[SNEEEZY - Erika]

My Schutlze came from the factory with bridge spokes...although I thought it wasn't a factory option until the '07s were produced.

I also have a set of v-spokes that will be my spring/summer wheels...then I'll switch over to the bridge spokes for fall/winter. (Unless I find something that I won't worry about ruining if I go to Ohio for holiday this December.)

I have the bridge spokes as well, they are the second option with the Sport package. I like the way they look on the car.

I ordered factory installed bridge spokes on my new Cooper. I love the design...my first choice!
