Just curious if anyone has any advice on buying knock off JCW rims? Found a good price online but questioning if I should wait until our Mini dealership to have a special on the original R112 rims. For sake of discussion the knock off rims are half the price. Also if anyone has tire size suggestions. Much appreciate Thank you all!

 

Nothing wrong with knock-offs. Usually, I would say steer clear because they can be heavy. However, the OEM Mini wheels are already heavy.

If you like the look, and the price is agreeable to your budget, I say go for it.

 

Hey thanks for the response.

 

Where did you find the knock offs? Curious on the specs.

 

17x7 with an offset of +42

 

was curious about the weight as well, but since you seem to want to guard were you found them.

 

There on EBay no weight specs

 

thank you

 

I can't imagine those are less than 22lbs each

 

maybe time to hunt the Miata forums huh?

 

I haven't seen any reasonable sets show up on the forums in a while.

Not sure how far you want to drive, but these seem like a decent deal:

Or these, but this set might be a bit rough:

thank you options and maybe a weekend trip. To the wife - Hey baby how about a trip out to Baltimore in the mini 😉

 

I love my Miata wheels. Threw them back on this afternoon for a quick run to the store. Tires are shot, but the weight loss is fantastic.

Now, where did that thread go...? Oh yeah, derailed...
