Not yet in five years, but it is bound to happen.

I agree. Car looks damn good.

Quote: I'd disagree....I think they completely compliment that car and it looks better for having them on.

Quote: Interesting that these cheap wheels at least complement the car. Too bad they probably weigh way too much. I have some sub-$200 rims that, although a whopping 17 lbs are great to have in an area with ice and granite curbs.
We can't all rock BBS LMs (although I'd love, too).

Konig Feather weights, in lbs:

15" 11.9
16" 15.2
17" 16.8 - 17.1

For the price, I'd say that's pretty reasonable.

And just to reiterate, I think they look fantastic.

If 17 pounds is "whopping" for a 17" wheel, what is "normal", and "light"?

Nice wheels you all have. Question: do you have to go to a garage to get the old ones separated from the tires if they're run-flats? How much does it cost per wheel? If I do it myself, what kind of equipment will I need?

If you want to continue to use the runflats, you need to take the wheels/tires to a garage that has the proper equipment (not all can handle the runflats). I don't know how much it would cost--not really much I'd guess.

The other option is to just buy a tire+wheel combo. There are a lot of deals like that from most dealers.

Hi guys.

I'm undecided on which colour to mount to my R56 AB/W.

I've narrowed it down to the ADVAN RZ 17". But I can't decide if i should go for the bronze or the gun metal colour.

Any pics of AB/W out there with brownz or gun metal wheels??????

thanks

You can try this thread. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=145581
I'm not sure how active it is, but it seems like one of them is going to post pics. Hope this helps. And in my opinion, i think gun metal is killer on a black mini (i believe that is what you mean by ab/w).

Yeh, let's see more pics! mnimule's appear to be the same wheels as on the white mini-but they look better on the dark car.

Geez, that really shows how much like a 4x4 a stock R56 is. Woops.
