My hunt to replace my OEM wheels continues and I have come down to four different wheel models that have made the cut.

Opus is a dark silver 2002 MCS with white roof, white stripes and checkered mirrors.



I've always been partial to black wheels, but find that all-black ones are too dark for Opus's colour scheme. I also don't like black-centre wheels with machined lips.

I have my slection down to four Konig wheels:

Konig Illusion and Konig Zero-In


Konig Swurve and Konig Lace



What I need is for folks here to pipe up and give me their feelings on which of these wheels would look best on Opus.

Don't be shy and share your thoughts!

Thanks a bunch!

 

Take a look at the O.Z. wheels at tire rack.

 

2nd for OZ wheels. Tire rack has some good deals on them. Im not a fan of Konig.. They always remind me of Honda Civics and Accords.

 

What size are you looking for. It makes a difference I feel. But, I too looked at all four of these (for a Pepper White) and thought the following:Swurve looks the best in a large wheel due to the spokes but look "tuner". I wasn't after that ; The lace would be very difficult to clean with all the Mini brake dust generated; The Illusion is pretty cool with the machined edge (they also come in a red edge and blue edge - refer to Konig website) but is dark regardless; The zero-in....i fear that the red stripe would fade over time to pink or begin to crack if its plastic or rubber. I also thought that the black behnid the spokes would be difficult to clean and look grey losing the contrast. I googled these wheels for images on Mini's or other cars and found good pictures for comparison. A suggestion if you don't mind....I like gunmetal, anthracite or dark grey on a grey car. It makes it look sleek and monochromatic. Its not as dark and gives some contrast. Not as bright as silver...not as dark as black. Just a thought. Thanks for asking.

 

Thanks but Tire Rack charges way too much to ship to Canada.

I only found one OZ wheels that I really like - the Superturismo GT

 

How about the new Enkei PF01 looks very similar but is wider and lighter.

 

That is the one I bought.
