Wow, with all the looking around I have been doing it seems EVERYONE uses The Tire Rack for tires at least. I have found other wheels I like better, but the person who is ordering them for me is ordering the tires from guess where...The Tire Rack.

You guys must do a smashing job, many folks keep pointing back to you when I ask their opinion, businesses, friends, everyone, wow.

The wheels I have decided on are not carried by you, but the tires will be ordered by my installer in Tampa at Reeves Import Motorcars. (closer than any Mini dealer to me)

I'm in the process of looking for a wheel/tire package. I know if I go with Tire Rack, I will get a quality product that fits and Alex is great to work with. Unfortunately, I'm trying to "convince" myself that I like some of the wheels from Tire Rack, while I can find numerous wheels from other companies that are simply "love at first sight". Oh well, I've got until spring to make up my mind.

Working with "THE RACK" was a piece of cake. Alex Rocks the Rack. He returned my calls, responded to e-mails and was very professional. Chose the Blizzak WS_50
for the replacement for the coming New England winter. I feel confident I made the correct choice with his help. See you all on the slopes. Thanks Alex.

I did find a set of 10lb 16" wheels elsewhere, but I am getting my tires from The Tire Rack, though they are being ordered through my installer.

Nippon Racing Type C

They are shown as 12lb on the website, but in the paper catalog I saw as 10lb. Guess I'll see when they come in.

I'm also going to be sure they are available with the requires 5 lug pattern.

So what tires and size do you choose and what color rims? Black?
215/45-16 Yokohama AVS ES100?
Just a guess.
Tirerack has excellent service, good product line (but not everything possible), good shipping rates and is reliable.
