I am looking at these wheels right here for my mini come spring. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks guys!

 

Ehh...these just aren't my cup of tea, but get what you like it's your car

 

I'd pass on these.....

 

definitely not for me

 

one word... EEEEWWWW!

 

I sort of like them. But I like that old-school, small diameter 3 piece wheel look.

I'd check the hub diameter, though. They say 'specifically engineered for Miata', which, if it's like other Mazdas, uses a smaller hub bore than the Mini. I don't know for sure, but I'd find out before spending any money

 

good call. Miata is 54mm and MINI is 56.1mm. Easy enough to remedy at a competent machine shop, as long as the design will handle that (which most wheels do).

 

Star of Asterroth! Kind of Satanic,Ehh!

 

Not my cup O tea, your car, your wheels. But we do have to look at your car when you drives by.

 

This is true, and I did check on the hub diameter and it will not work too well without some minor mods to the wheels, meaning i'm not doing these. Thanks for all the input too. I have never seen them on anyhting really and figured it may be unique, but not at the expense of looking terrible.

 

Trying to find the wheel they remind me of, sort of akin to this style but more like the old school star wheels


In any case somehow I don't think those ones you posted a link to particularly suit the Mini, but whatever makes you happy, it might look great

 

I wish I had the ability to photoshop those wheels onto my car, but I don't have photoshop so I can't do it. If someone would like to do that, I will gladly donate the pics!

 

Would look good on a BRG or LY.

 

I came close to buying a set of 18" forged gold wheels but my budget doesn't really allow me to spend 2k for a set of wheels. Anyway, I think those wheels would look good on your PW MC, but I like these better and they are available in a 4 lug pattern:

 

Maybe with the black centers.

Zip

 

I really like those wheels there. The mesh look is hot on these cars. My only problem has been coming up with a large budget for wheels and tires since I have other things going on. I may have to wait for a while and see what else pops up along the way. I was also wondering if anyone knew what black rota slipstreams would look like on a pepper white car? Is there sommeone on this forum with that look?

 

Happy to read that you decided against these wheels. They look terribly old-fashioned. Perhaps not too bad with the dark center.

 

Not quite what you're looking for...

If you're looking for black mesh wheels, try Edge Racing

 

I like this one from Edge Racing:



They also have this one, which has a distant minilite/panasport look to it...

 

I will have pictures to post sometime this week. I'm getting Rota slipstreams in a 16 inch royal black ( high gloss black with a silver lip). These will be my auto X wheels and canyon carvers.
