I'm wanting to get some opinions, I want to get new black rims for my Mini. I've never had rims replaced on any car before. I really don't want to break the bank, and definitely don't want to spend $3000 on rims such as the OEM Mini ones.

Any suggestions on slick black rims to gift to my mini for Christmas or even a New Year's present. Ones with as little fuss as possible (TPMS sensor compatible, optimal fit, etc.)

 

Try https://www.tirerack.com/content/tir.../homepage.html you can see how they look on your car.

 

Im actually looking for rims not tires. Great site for tires though

 

They sell rims, lots of rims, dig deeper!

 

I have had good luck with TSW rims, they have a large selection of styles and for reasonable prices. One of the main retailers/distys for TSW is Discount Tire. Their rims are either standard cast aluminum or 'rotary forged' and have a single price point for the style. Don't be bedazzled by the rotary forged units, while they are lighter, they are still cast wheels with the barrel being spun to final shape that allows for a thinner barrel cross section and varying widths based on how it is spun. My OEM Subaru rims were rotary forged, so take that for what it is.

If you have a local Discount Tire drop by and have a chat with them. The local stores will generally beat the online prices for rims and tires both, at least my local shop has been consistently much lower than online pricing. I got my TSW Nurburgring rims for $152/rim, while the online price was $198/rim as an example. Looks like their online pricing structure is $184/248 for cast/RF models. YMMV.
