looking for black 17s or 18s, with no lip, post pics!
i had a thread a while back but its like 6 pages long, and all differnt kinds of rims were posted. i think im going to get rid of my s-lites, some guy locally may want to trade me his white 18" rims for them, but ill see about that later.
anyways, post pics of your 17" and 18" rims, and please in the post, list what size tire it is, and what offset, width of the wheel, and if you're lowered, or rubbing any or anything.
anyone running all black Konig Hotswap's?
i really like the ultraleggers or whatever they're called, where online can i buy those?

Probably because the wheel thread is a cesspool of broken links and the same post quoted hundreds of times by people who just want to say " " and don't have the decency to delete the picture from the quote. I swear some of the pages in there are the same picture 20 times due to quotes.
NAM needs some sort of gallery that members can upload photos of wheels, that can be sorted/filtered by wheel brand, style, mini color, wheel color, etc. I think Mini2 has something like that, no?
Notice that it says it's $90 a piece...it's cheap but not surprisingly so. Look like pretty junky wheels though. Who has ever heard of "sacchi" wheels?
this guy locally wants to trade me for some white 18's on his mini, im gonna go see what kind they are today, i would need to get them Powder coated which im trying to avoid. plus his are universal, id rather get actual 4 lug wheels, so theres not 4 empty holes lol

Why cause these are the white ones you're talking about?
To be honest....i think white could look pretty awesome on an all black car. Everyone and their mom runs black on black on black. It's getting to be as popular as running OZ or TDR wheels on NAM. I think white 18's could actually look kinda cool on a car with your 5% tint and stuff. (Depends on the design of the wheel of course)

Check out R1 racing rims and Azul at automotoring.com. I do not work there nor am I affiliated I just saw the site and they have awesome rims at great prices. They sell alot of high end bmw rims.

Those lugs i posted are ultra light - the set of 4 lock will weigh more than the set of 16 black lug nuts - thats why I dont recomend them, 1 lock will kill the feeling of a good balance.
where can i get matte black lug nuts (with locks preferablly) that will fit my MINI's lugs?
McGard SplineDrive. Summit Racing has them, with and without locks. You will need a stud conversion (Pilo Racing has a 'race' stud - don't go cheap, the cheap ones from Gorilla don't have strong threads...I ruined them in one wheel swap).
