I would like to see what you guys like better. Since the MINI is new to me, and I have only seen a handful in person. I'm not sure what wheels will look the best. I have an 04 MCs Solid Jet Black. I will be keeping stock tire size for the time being. Theyre all similar, and i like the deep lips....just need help narrowing things down a bit. And dont post if you're going to say you dont like any of them.

First Choice:



Numero Dos:


Option C:



Thanks for any input.

 

They all look good to me but why don't you go with the wheels you like?

It's your money ; )

 

I like all 3, just kind of hoping maybe someone has these or something similar that they can share, becaues until theyre mounted on the car, I have no idea how they'll look.

 

Did you try www.tirerack.com? That'll at least give you an idea.

My vote is for #2, but then again I've always loved the BBS "Tuning Fork" style wheels.

 

#2. Mesh wheels look awesome on MINI's.

Out of those three I would have to go with choice 2. In my opinion I absolutely do not like 1, but thats just me, maybe you do, which is perfectly fine. Now choice "c" is my second choice, but it might look a little bit more tuner, not necissarily "rice" by any means, but I have always been more partial to choice to and the look of LM style wheels.

 

And I like #1, what wheels are those, great deep lip? Would look great on Jet Black and possibly my DS R56. :-)

 

#2 for me

 

I'd say #2 as well. I'm not sure the thin, black, mulit-spoke look is great for the MINI IMO.

 

+1 more on numero dos

Do you know price and weight on those?
If you get them, post pics -- I'd like to see them on a JB

 

dos

 

Order of preference 2, 3, 1.

 

# 2 me too. I wish the wheel people could come up with a better "universal"
and leave out those extra lug holes. Thats just me. Nice looking wheel tho.

 

no 2 - love em

 

def 2

 

These all came from Ebay right? I have been looking for awhile and I see these pics up there all the time. Anyway, in case you did not know, the model numbers are (A)236 (B)? (C)333. I think (B) is discontinued. They have others like it on their site, but not that particular one. Also on the site they show to make them with only 4 lug holes, but the Ebay guys do not have them. I have asked. I have seen (C) on a Mini somewhere here recently, but I'm drawing a blank right now. Did not look good IMHO. Hope this helps.

 

+1

 

wow, I wasn't really expecting such a consensus from everyone. I ranked them 2, 1, and 3. So its good im in agreement with wat seems to be the best choice. I will be purchasing them tomorrow, and yes they are from eBay. I know I am taking a chance by buying something like this on eBay, but *knocks on wood* I've had nothing but good experience so far.

The price is just too good to pass up. I will revive this thread from the dead by posting pics when they come in and when they are installed. Anything should be better than the chrome rims i have right now.

 

well I ordered the wheels today. Turns out i didnt get any of the 3 I posted above, lol. but what i got is very similar to the second picture. The only difference really is that the wheels I ordered have one less fork.(less is more, lol...plus theyll show off my painted calipers a lil more) here is some pics. They ship out tomorrow and i'll cross my fingers for them to arrive by the end of the week!

 

Looks nice.

What are you going to do for tires?

 

good choice.

what size did you go with? please say 18x7.5.

$200 buy it now but they are 17x7 +40.

I don't know, i think you should check this thread in tires,wheels and brakes.


I like #2 the most.

 

The wheels you got I think are the best of what you posted
The number of spokes or webs are divisable by the number of lugs!

I know that sounds odd but "almost" no matter what I could not run 5, 7, or 10 spoke / web (with 4 lugs) and lug nut covers are for non agressive cars

 

what size should i have gotten? I just stayed with stock size because I didn't want to lose any sidewall. plus I get to keep the tires I already have.
soemthing like 18 may be in the future, but i felt if i went that route, i would then be forced to lower the car etc etc. not prepaired for that kind of investment just yet...didnt wana lose any speed either.
