MyPocketRocket,

My car is not lowered. The wheels are 17s in black. The tires are Falken Ziex 512s (all season) size 205 45 17. Hope that helps.

 

SwingMCS03,

I love this wheels. Where did you get them?

 

Does anybody have any idea about the weight of 15" Minilite EV2000s. I can get it from the company, http://www.minilite.co.uk, but I thought I'd ask your opinions first. I'm sure they're pricey, but I like 'em!!!

 

These are my canyon shoes RoJa LT5 17"x7" 14.5lbs with Yokahama Prada Spec2 215/40R17's

 

Here Is My New Rims...

 

MyPocketRocket,

I bought my FLIKs at edgeracing.com
Great prices. Excellent service. If you buy tires at the same time, they will balance them before shipping to you. Just make sure to set the proper tire pressure when they arrive. I rode around with mine at approximately 40 psi before I realized I needed to adjust the pressure. I set mine around 34 psi. Might try it a little lower to see if it increases grip. Good luck.

 

Here These are my new tires and wheels. 17" Konig Graphite Troubles with Sonar 602, 215/40/17

 

Nice! I really like those. Could you give me more information on them? Price? Where to buy? Weight?

 

looks great man what tires did you go with?

 

I got them at NTB(National Tires Battery) you can also go to www.discounttiredirect.com they have them for $138.00 a wheel, the tires are 215/40/17 sonar 602. The weight of the Rims is about 17 pounds my not sure what the tire weighs the guy at the store says the total weight of tires and rim is about 25 pounds per tire.

Yeah, I caught that too. Typo..

 

Sorry about that, thinking and fingers are not in sink.

 

Here are my wheels.

 

Nice.:smile:

 

Ditto on the NICE & I love the dark grey

 

These are quite different than the 15" holies I had...

 

Niiiicccceee are those g-racing seka's?

By the way.... luv the crib !!

 

Thanks Bonz. The wheels are Konig Next. The "crib" is a museum/castle in Doylestown PA. If you notice the roof is actually constucted of concrete (first in the US). Doylestown is a great destination for NE MINI drivers. Good food, scenic spots and great roads. Come and visit!!

 

looking good jax!

 

Thank you Hafid. I must say they were one of my favorite purchases ever. Over all these years I never bought aftermarket wheels/tires. This thread has been a lot of fun to look at and it helped my decision. Thanks to all of you and your great looking MINIS.

 

here are my new wheels and tires...

i had to return the CENTERLINES do to defect on the rims....
and i am so glad i love these more than the other ones and with the money i saved i bought new tires as well.........
happy motoring to every one

 

jaxmini,

Those are some really sweet looking wheels. Do you happen to know how much they weigh? Thanks.

 

MM2 is rockin' new wheels & tires:







fresh off the jackstands, Exel TZ-10 in 18x7.5" with Kumho MX in 215/35-18. Corner weight is 37 pounds, only 0.5 pound heavier overall than the 17" versions they replaced! Even better in terms of rotational inertia, the tires are lighter than the wheels (17.5/tire vs. 19.5/wheel), versus the old set using Yoko Parada2's (20/tire vs. 16.5/wheel)

I'm excited, the 18's really nail the cartoon aesthetic the MINI is famous for!

 

Ooh, what lovely evil wheels! YAY!!!! Wanda likes 'em, too!
