I am going to be taking delivery of my new MCS in litttle over a week and have been looking into a winter wheel and tire package. I have basically decided on these Sparco Terra wheels in this color in 16's with 195-55-16's.





My Mini is Midnight Black so I think the wheels will look good. I was wondering what everyone's take on Sparco is, I like the look and was going to order these from tire rack. I did order the JCW exterior package with 17 inch challenge spokes and dont think that effects the 16's fitting at all. If anyone has these wheels on there Mini a pic would be appreciated. I figured I could use them for summer to should I choose to later on.

Thanks

I forgot about that feature, thank you. A real one on the car tho would be great too.

 

NP. Where in NY are you?

 

Should go with a black finish. It will look real mean since you're MINI is black, bad a$s winter setup.

 

Orange County/ Hudson Valley area.

 

Wow they are the same wheels but, the Sparcos are a $100 cheaper. I know OZ is a parent company of Sparco.

 

I thought black but there only available in white or light grey. I like the silver tho and then thought the black may be a bit much. Plus I figured if I wanted I could run these in the summer as well if I changed my mind.


Wow those do like identical but as you said there much more.

 

Oh they do offer them in black also.

 

I ordered them with some Michelin Alpin PA3 ZP snows with TPMS all mounted. I got the +42 mm offset being the other one was +30 and from searching is very aggressive. I bet that now it won't snow since I bought these lol.

 

I use to live in Middletown, now I am on the other side in Pa. If you ever want to motor on hit me up.

 

I have a set of Sparco Assetto Gara and I absolutely love them. I wanted the OZ Ultraleggera but my wallet said 'no you dont' and that is why I have the Sparcos.

Since OZ is the parent company of Sparco I suspect the quality is there too. I pulled the trigger on a set of black 18's. And I have never regretted my decision.

I usually recommend black wheels as Mini's spit copious amounts of brake dust on the wheels

 

Sounds good to me should my schedule allow haha, seems non stop at the moment but I would like to meet up with some mini people at some point.

I know of the brake dust you speak of, my BMW was the same but I usually am on top of cleaning the car.

 

They came in today which was extremely fast, but the wheels don't have the "SPARCO" lettering on the face of the wheel like shown in the pic's. I didn't open the one package that has my bill of lading yet and see if it a sticker but im not to happy they don't have it.

Tirerack is supposed to call me back.

 

These sparco terra wheels 5 lugs or they come in 4 lugs also?

 

I ordered mine specifically for my MCS so there 4 lug.
