Do you think these wheels would look nice on a hb/b Mini Cooper S ?

 

it could, but you'll need 4x100. those are 5x114.3

 

I know, they are available in 17x7 4x100 et+42

 

That style looks familar

 

Yeah, they must be Sportmax, er, Palo Uber, er...I would love to know who actually makes the wheels everyone sells!

TJM

 

let me guess............Volk le28

 

Enkie J 10's. Not quite the same, but very close in style. these have been great wheels and I really like the look with my Pepper White. They have more of a satin finish even though they look polished. These are 18's and weight 20lbs each.

 

The Sportmax and Palo Uber I've seen are 8 spoke wheels, volk and kyowa are 10 spoke

 

count the number of lug holes

The sportmax wheels come with 10 spokes when they have 5 lugs...and 8 spokes when they have 4. (notice they are multiples of each other....so each lug hole has a spoke)

And palo uber doesnt make wheels....they just lie.

 

Ha ha. Well done sir. ;]

Anyway, that style. . . I would go with these forged wheels:

Am I missing something, aren't the Sportmax wheels forged too...

Although the ones you posted sure are nice. But nothing beats the ACTUAL Volk CE28N's...

 

Yea, but after you spend $500 a wheel and your girlfriend curbs them parking you'll wish you spent less. Plus with wheels that expensive, you better live in a gated community with surveillance and secure parking, don't want to find her on blocks one random morning. . .

 

those wheels look pretty nice.. where can i purchase them?? I am also in teh market for some wheels.. I have a Astro black MCS.. i was considering black rims like locomini posted.. but i realized after looking at a few that i dont like the shiny black on the rims.. i think for a black mini.. a gunmetal.. or silver or dark grey maybe nicer.. but then again.. everyone has diff taste.. what u think of these wheels??

Nice, but don't be fooled by the picture of a 19x9.5 version of those.
The 17" size of the ADR MSport is pretty tame looking, and though the 18" has more lip, it is still lacking the full potential of a wheel of that design.

But, the price is right and with some nice tires you'd be styling.

Also, I agree, black wheels & black car. . . you can do better, IMO.

 

That's why you don't let your g/f drive the car... Honestly I don't let almost anyone drive my car. Only under extreme circumstances. As long as you don't live in a crappy neighborhood your fine. People would be stupid to waste their time on $2,000 wheels when they could steal a $50,000 M3 or what not next door...

 

Well, I bought the kyowa kr206 wheels I should be getting them in a couple of days and will have them installed this weekend. they cost $132.00 per wheel in 17x7 @ wheelstudio.com. I will post photos after installation.

 

sweet.. remember to post your pics!!

 

If you wanna see pics....search for minis with palo uber wheels. There are a few sets in the wheel thread. They are all made by the same company it seems...people just try playing it off as their own.

 

What do you think about my new wheels?

Pictures of my newly installed Kyowa kr206 wheels..pictures take with cell phone camera ..sorry

 

Whats the weight spec on the 17x7 wheels KR206's?

 

What size tires are those? They look a bit too big

 

I think they are around 17 lbs
