Since I cant find any used wheels that I really like or that arent just outrageous expensive ive been thinking of getting some decent new wheels. Just seeing what you guys think.

#5

#7

#8

Which one has your vote?

 

Take a look at the NM wheels.

 

just did, not that impressed

 

What color is your MINI?

 

I have #3 for my winter wheels. I think they look great.

 

color is ice blue (charcoal color) with white racing stripes

 

I personally like a bit of bling, so I like 1 & 2. I am not into the dechrome fad

 

I like all..1 2 3 the best

 

If it has a white roof - #4

Black roof - #3 or #7

I see a lot of 5 lug wheels. If you're stock, you'll have to roll with 4X100.

Good luck with your choices - they're all nice, except for #5 and #8. I'm just not into the "striping" thing and those stripes wouldn't work at all with an Ice Blue, IMO.

Definitely want to see what you end up with.

 

thanks!

 

Hey man, I just ordered my Drag DR-31. If your looking for Flat Black, check that one out. It's very similar to the Drag DR-34! Great price and the wheels don't weigh a lot. Good luck on your search!

 

Nice! post pics once you get them mounted!!!

 

I should have them here by Friday or Saturday! I will definitely do that ASAP!

 

These are DR-34s

thanks, happen to have a bigger hi-res shot?

 

Where have you checked? The marketplace / classifieds? Your local Criagslist?

What's your budget rounding to?

Assuming these are all 17", these are entry-priced wheels... cheaper construction than the OEM's variants.
Do you like any OEM style wheels that you could sourced used in the marketplace?

But if you're needing an answer, I'd say the Sport Tuning T6's would be the primary choice.

Ive checked here, craigslist local and near by, bimmerforums, e30tech, r3vlimited, vwvortex, pretty much all primary 4x100 sites. max budget would be 1000 and thats if i REALLY like them. Id do 17" maybe 18". not a huge fan of the oems

 

#8 looks good to me...on a brushed aluminum finish.

 

The problem with aluminum brushed or polished is brake dust. My black Motegi's and the black Challenge wheels that came with my JCW help in the brake dust is not as noticeable. Of course cleaning helps, but still it can be difficult keeping ahead of the brake dust.

 

Drag wheels are garbage, don't waste your money on them.

ASA is the only reputable brand you listed except their wheels are HEAVY. I'd probably go with Sparco.
