any pics of a MINI with steel rims and snow tires ?

 

lot15,

Here is a pic when I had my factory 15" steels and wheel covers.

Here is a pic without the wheel covers:

 

Rather than steel wheels for your snows, check into getting a set of 16" 5 spoke or v-spoke wheels for summer use and put some good snows on your "holeys"

I've seen several sets of 16" 5 spoke wheels with tires on e-bay.

Instead of steelies I bought Borbet H's from Tirerack last year. (actually, 4 Borbets and one steelie, for the spare)


The steel was $65-70 or so, and the alloy Borbets were $99. I like the Borbets better than the oem wheels. And, they have a slightly different offset so they look like they have spacers. Very agressive looking.

Oh, and I went with 15's, instead of 16 for my summer wheels. I enjoy the snows very, very much.

 

Here's a link to a set of 5 spoke wheels on e-bay

E-bay mini wheels

 

my dealership parts manager says he has lots of wheels taken off cars, especially the 15" holey's, and will sell them cheap to get them out of there.... I assume other dealers have the same. Might be worth checking into.

 

Thanks for the pics,I would probably not use any kind of wheel cover.
Maybe half moons
