Pics of R99, Gramlights or Superleggras on DS/B

Hi all,

I'm torn between these three wheels, so I'm trying to get a sense of which I prefer the look on my DS/B Cooper S. Ideally, I'd like to see the wheels in anthracite, but pure silver works too.

Thanks in advance.

Gram Lights are pretty rare on mini's so far. There is one guy on here with them on a black car. I've got a DS/B car and have Gram Lights ordered from tirerack. Crossing my fingers that they come in next week like they were originally supposed to. I'll post pics if/when they come in.

Check out www.minimechanic.com

His car has a real nice setup with gram lights and Yoko ES100's. He's got a review and some pics, his car looks really good.

Here's a couple pics of my car with R99's

Not may people have these. My dealer said mine were the first they did. They are new for 2005.

Aren't gram lights pretty darn heavy? Circa 22+lbs per wheel alone?

Estimated 17 pounds for 17's for the Gram Lights. Haven't heard any exact figures for the mini fitment, but this is what i've heard based on fitment for other vehicles. I'll weigh mine on a postal scale when I get them, but this will be a total wheel/tire weight (KDW2's) versus the stock 17" S-lites and runflats. Anyway, it will give you an idea of the weight saved per corner.
