This pulled me out of mothballs to post again.

SA WHEEET! Dude, you always manage to rock the cool meter to 11 with your wheel habit.

Don't know anyone else in the MINI world who rolls like this, again and again. Not yet anyway.

Alfas! On a MINI! Whoodathunkit? I'll tell you who. KONKY.

Cheers.

Konky to wheels is like Imelda Marcos to shoes, only in a good way... and those do look outstanding.

Hey Konky do you have pix of all the diff rims you have put on your car? You always seem to have the right rims on your car. Putting stock rims from another car is very slick.......keep it up!!

They came in both bolt patterns, but fewer 4 bolts were made (atleast that's what I saw when searching)


Here's a few pics of the wheels I've ran:
