Show Me Your FORGED Wheels!
does anyone here run on forged wheels? e.g. the obsession with lighter wheels that costs more than they're supposed to?

There are ton's of forged wheels out there. Just because it is forged does not mean it is always better since, it is lighter..

Neat color! IIRC, they brought that out at about the same time that I was shopping for my MINI. If only they'd had THAT blue on the MINI...

these are R88 oem wheels. I've never seen another MINI in 5 years with these. They are 16's and I am currently running Bridgestone s-03 pole positions, although shown are traction t/a's
