I haven't even ordered my HC Clubbie yet but I thought I would do a little wheel fun and see what looks best. Not photoshop but close.

May do more when I find the brands. So if anybody know of some more good looking bronze finish wheels post them and I will see how they look.

 

this is awesome. I was thinking the same about getting bronze wheels for the HC Cooper on order ... heck I already bought a set of tires

Ok, here are my top choices ... see if you can "lower" the car in your renderings also a bit

Tenzo DC5




Tenzo DC6




Tenzo Type M




I am leaning towards the first 2 for sure ... I really like how they both look ... I guess your photo renderings will sell me on one over the other.

BTW: What wheels are the ones in your first post? the last one looks like ENKEI EVO5.

 

Those in the pics are Enkei RS7 RSV EVO 5

I will see if I can work on some of the others today.

 

really like the way the RS7's look ... gives it an old school look ... just wish they were a bit darker bronze.

 

Here are 3 more.
I will try some more if I get time.
Left is 5zigen ProRacer GN
Middle is Tenzo DC5
Right is Tenzo DC6

 

These are the wheels I plan on running on my HC...though I may end up changing my mind and selling them for something new. The bolts have been plated in gold so I think it will be a nice accent for the golden brown of the HC paint. I just gotta lower the car first

(no centercap installed in the pic....oops)

 

my goodness, those 2nd and 3rd shots look amazing. i think this hot chocolate is the best thing for the mini cooper yet...

 

those are great thanks! ... the DC5 (middle) is still my fave but those Enkei RS7's have got me thinking as well. I like their slightly curved spokes. I always thought slight curves to the spokes work better with the rounder shape of the cars body. Straight spokes feel a bit "stiff"

Do you know if anyone makes a similar wheel to them but a bit darker bronze? Also any other manufacturer besides Enkei make the same style wheel?

Great job on these renderings ... keep 'em coming!

 

I would want to see some of the Enkei's in person the color could be off in there pics. You never know how a camera is going to work. The Enkei pics are from 1010 tires I think, so I may look directley at Enkei's site to see if there is any dif.


I looked at the Enkei Site and the RSV looks Darker than the RS7 that looks darker than the EVO5.............

I would think they would all be the same color from the same manufac.

Just goes to show how pictures can look dif.

 

i am liking some of those Enkei's ... i just hate the co's connection with everything rice

 

just trying to keep this thread alive ...

can you try a few with Rota wheels? Torque's, Circuit 8 or 10's?

the ones with the DC5's above ... can you create one with a front view? like your original set.

you are too good at this photoshopping ... i am really leaning towards those RS7's now

 

I had to go with the stock crud.

 

Here are a couple more.

1 is the DC5 from the front.
The other is an AZUL Sprint 5.........the pic I had to work with was not too good on the Sprint 5.

 

thanks! ... those DC5's look pretty good ... but it looks like the RS7's are the winners, ... at least for me anyway.

can you try a few with sliver wheels?

 

Wasn't really looking at silver wheels......but.......after I did these I am leaning more towards some silver ones.
I think the color is off from what the actual wheel looks like.


MOMO RPM's

 

yeah ... i am afraid of the gold's novelty factor as well.

looking at rota torque or circuit 10's also.

 

anyone pull the trigger yet on bronze/gold wheels for their HC?

 

Not that my opinion matters, but I don't like multi-fit wheels. The unused lug holes look goofy to me. If you could factor that out, the Tenzo DC5, and the five-spoke in the first post look the best to me.

 

Does anyone know what rims these are? I think think that color would go perfect wit the HC color.

 

Well the centercap is Rota for sure. The model looks like Group A which isn't available for our car. The color is a common Rota color that they have available on many of their other models as well

The Group A

 

BTW ... the Enkei RS-7 ... the left wheels in this collage ... are on sale at Edge Racing for $99! ... Silver only however with the bronze still coming in at $139

 

Winter Wheels-
I'm about to buy 4 snow-tire wheels, but want to use the opportunity to get some nice wheels for future summer driving once my run-flats wear out. I'll have regular tires on both sets by then. Anyone have a tip for a good looking wheel for my Hot Choc/black topped Cubman that could survive the winter blues?

 

check out this thread if you not already done so.
