I'm getting these gorgeous things in two weeks:



:GRIN: I cant wait!!!

btw they are ASA AR2s

 

Anthracite with a machined face, right? Nice, nice. . .

17s or 18s? That is the question. . .

 

Ordered for their weight rather than looks, just had Michelin Pilot Exhalto PE2 205/45-17 mounted and replaced the factory Crown Spokes.

CenterLine RMP polished aluminum 17x7, 15-16 lbs

 

Nice!! Polished wheels look great on silver cars.

 

sounds like u suffer from the same ailment as me!

 

I'm getting my MCS in about 3-4 weeks from now and can't wait to try after-market wheels. I'm super confused between these:



(OZ Ultraleggera in Matte Graphite finish)

AND


(ASA AR2 with gun metal finish)

The OZs are freakin expensive. Any help deciding between the two? :p Does anyone have a car setup with either one? That'd be awesome. Thanks in advance.

 

Look back through this thread. Just about every wheel is represented and in multple iterations of mini colors as well.

 

the two wheels are too played out.. too common.. but if I had to pick one, i would go for the OZ..

 

agreed...so many of them already on MINIs:impatient

 

yes they are
they come in 17s, the 17s are $159 each

 

Well, so what would you recommend? I don't want to burn a huge crater in my wallet by purchasing BBS rims.

 

keskins are on sale right now...

I was looking at the Rial Nigaros in black ($232). Are they any good? And does anyone happen to have their MINI fitted with these wheels?

 

I dont think I've seen any Rial's on MINI's. Some of the wheels Rial makes are very nice

 

O.Z. Ultraleggera (silver) in 17x7" w/Yok AVS ES100 205/45ZR17

 

Bought a set of these BSA Type 345's, 17 x 7's.......to go autocrossing with. Not super light, not super heavy. 18lbs. Just didn't feel like beating up my everyday tires so I bought these to thrash a set of Proxies I had laying around...

 

Where did you pickup the wheels?

 

WOW I just noticed that you have FIVE lugs.. how the heck do you do that!!!

 

17" BBS RC with 215/45/17 Michelin Pilot MXM4 Size: 17x7
Construction: 1 piece, monobloc
Weight: 17 lbs.
Offset: +42
Finish: Silver
Manufactured in Germany
Center Caps: Full covered lugs

 

adapters...he talks about it a page or two ago

snkbite....whats going on with your arches? Is that an option or are you just waiting to install the painted parts?

 

eBay.....the mothership of all deals. Although after shipping costs (flat rate) it almost doubles the price so the deal isn't as good as first thought. But it still was only $383 fora set of pretty cool rims. Then I had to source hub-centric rings and spline drive bolts from discounttiredirect...

That's just how it is with the factory aero kit. Here's a member (Impacto) who had his arches painted, and it is a big improvement:

 

BMW/MINI should be ashamed for producing something so UGLY. That body kit should just have painted arches included in the cost.

 

yah word....definitely looks pretty awful for a factory option?! It's like only half of the kit is installed
