Enkei Wheels
Does anyone have an experiance with these wheels?
Enkei J10
Enkei OR52
Enkei CDR9
Specificially i'm looking for weights in the 16 x 7, but also experiances, and of course pictures! I haven't seen these on a Mini yet, so that would help. I have a DS/W. Also, how well made are these rims? I don't want to bend them, and I understand that's a common problem with aftermarket rims. I've never bent a stock rim before.
Just to check, there's no reason why a 215 width tire couldn't work on a 7 inch rim right? Or is it better to go with a 205 width rim. I'd like to have the extra grip if possible. Thanks!
To expand on my previous question. Lets get some tire votes. Right now i'm interested in both the Toyo T1R (Nearly impossible to find) and the Kumho SPT (Much easier to find, and it seems a better choice for climates that see weather). This car is going to see snow, although i'm not going to run the tires in the snow (Maybe in an emergancy) i'd like to get votes for how each would perform. I'm fairly certain the T1R would be abysmal, but the SPT is marketed to be a wet weather tire, which leads me to believe it could possibly work in the snow with limited success.
Thanks again!

I was wondering something similar about my tires/wheels. I found that tire specs include a rim width range, for instance my 195/55/16s have a rim width range of 5.5-7". My stock rims are 6.5", but it appears I could go up to 7".
To get an answer to your question, go find the specs on the tires in question. Don't know about the Enkei wheels, but they look good.
