Hi guys. I have JCW R109s on my JCW right now and can't decide what to put on! These wheels came with my car and i didnt love them at first..

I had them sprayed anthracite gray and i really quite like them now but for the longest time ever i've wanted fully BLACK rims. These R109's with the outer pc rim makes my rims look smaller than 18" and i dont really like that!

My black R109's:




So far i've seen these that I really quite like!

How about it guys!

what are your recommendations? How good are these rims in general and how expensive would they be (considering if i trade in my wheels)

I've heard stories about OZ not being very strong and prone to cracking so im a little worried too!

Also, i know that replica rims can be made? :x

What rims are on that Ice Blue Cooper S in the last link? I like those.

Those are HRE wheels, P40 Series.

If you read the build details in the link, they are 18" Advan Racing wheels.

Heavin forbid somebody didn't catch that. Thanks though captain obvious.

Easiest way is www.wheelsnext.com!! Profile pic. of your MINI and then it's "PlugNPlay".

This could be another option for you.



These are 18x8 KYOWA EVOLVE wheels (+45 offset) in Matte Black. The tires are KUMHO ECSTA AST 215/35-18.

Ooh... you wanted more of a spoon-fed answer, sure thing:
They are specifically the RS-B's from Advan.

I personally love the R112s in Black.

The OZ Superleggeras look amazing on the MINI. People say they are played out here on the forum but I've never seen a MINI with them in person. I almost bought them.

I am seriously considering getting rid of my R112s for the new NMEng wheels. They look so sexy to me and they lightweight.

^ I'm partial to that look as well. I like the Y-spoke design.

I have a set of OZs and I don't know where you got your info but, they are great wheels. The set I have I am trying to part with because I want to move onto something else plus I don't want to move them.
