I think it is a girl. No?

Does any body know the weight of these wheels? (for the 18's and 17's)

I think these wheels fall in the "to hell with weight they look so damn fine" category.

I've been hesitant about asking if someone had pics of them on their MINI, but now that its already done I'm in love. Thats a beautiful MINI with some amazing looking wheels. It looks dropped a bit doesn't it? Thats even better

I ordered the 17" x 7" Hyper Black PIAA Sport Mesh today for my MCS and they will arrive in 6 working days. My car is due to arrive on April 19th, so this gives me enough time to go there, pay for them, ****** the centercaps and send them to a guy in N.J. that I know and have him make me some custom "S" logos for the centercaps. These wheels are unbelievable


BTW, when I called PIAA in Oregon, the guy there told me that the 17's weigh 17 lbs, just going by what he told me.

That is exactely why i didnt go for these. I think they do not offer the silver (in 18" anyway) or at least i coul not find anyone who had them in stock. I belive they might only offer the black, or "hyper" black centers now. I hate the black wheel look and Love the silver mesh look, so i went with the ar1's

I go through Discount Tire. Currently the wheels are on backorder, so I wait:impatient :impatient :impatient In the meanwhile, I'll be getting an exhaust this week to "tie me over", the mod bug has me and luckily I've been working alot of overtime leading up to getting the MCS. Because I'll be driving my car year round the purchase of the PIAA wheels is as much about need as it is about want, or in these wheels case LUST!, but honestly I'm growing to really like the looks of the crown spokes, so atleast I'll be lookin' good in the winter time too

I agree and have actually found those wheels on www.treadepot.com and the price has recently gone up from $300.00 per to $319.00 per. I guess that's what happens when the popular mesh wheel isn't as available in other slightly different styles compared to the ASA choices I'm waiting it out and getting the PIAA's, no doubt about it because they are simply AWESOME

Are the ones up there on that blue Mini hyper black? Hard to tell. Anyone have a good representation of what hyper black looks like in real life?

I do - I do
I've had them on the car for about a month now and love them...
Not sure how to post in full picture, but you can view my gallery or go to pg 150 on
"Show me your wheels" thread - Someone posted my picture there. Thread: #3732

The PIAA Sport Mesh is only offered in Hyper Black.
I have 215/40/17X7 on Nitto Neogens
Much lighter than the stock run flats.

I purchased both Wheels and Tires thru Discount Tire Warehouse.

Here's a link...
