16" 5Zigen Pro Racers on 205-50-16 rubber, dropped on H&R sport springs

 

I like these wheels. Do they come in 17" and in silver?

 

^yes and yes contact Discount Tire in El Monte, CA. ask for Vic

 

I am about to pull the triger and buy some Konig Bump 17'' silver rims. I have been looking for a picture of the silver rims with no luck so far. If anyone has Koning Bumps in silver, please post a picture.

Thanks,

Do the Silver Bumps order from me and get $40 back when you e-mail me a pic we can use on our website! Can't beat that deal right?

 

Friendly reminder about the wheel finder tool I've built

Please see Browse WheelRacks to take a look at the display.

Please see Search WheelFinder to see just how detailed the search function can be.

The question comes up often about duplicating wheels already posted. Please do, the idea is that each MINI is unique and this way some performing a search can see just how the wheel may look on their particular color, or with this type of stripe...

I've written a little How-To guide: Wheel Rack - How Do I use the Wheel Rack

As a small token of thanks I'm sending everyone that enters data a sticker. Please Free* Motoring Alliance Stickers for details.

Thanks for your support in helping to build this feature into something the entire MINI Community can share.

 

I've had these wheels sitting in my garage for over a year. I didn't want to put them on until I needed new summer tires, and somehow, that took awhile.

They required hubcentric rings and tuner lugs, all of which I ordered separately from separate vendors, so I was sort of pleasantly surprised when everything went together and worked

They are Eagle Alloy 039s 16x7 with Kumho ASXes in 205/50/16. Really an inexpensive set-up (under $1000 for wheels, tires, rings/lugs, and install) but I love how it turned out.

 

OMG FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! ive been wanting to buy these for my r53 in 18s and i couldnt find any MINI's with them, finally an actual pic of a MINI with these.

how much do they weigh?

 

I'm looking to get some Volk Racing Rims TE37 17's in Bronze. Does anyone have this set up so I can see how it looks or something similar? My MCS is Dark Silver by the way

 

OZ Racing Superturismo, 16 x 7, 37mm offset.

 

I really like the white Superturismo WRC. I thought about getting them instead of the Alleggerita I have, but didn't because they are too heavy and would be too much of a PITA to keep clean.

 

Yep, they are a PITA to keep clean. You really have to....

1) Love your MINI and not mind spending the required time to keep them clean.

2) Have low-dust pads to keep you from going totally insane.

or....

Hate your MINI and not care what your wheels look like.

 

So I'm thinking of picking up these Rota Boost wheels in 16" for my R56. I'm not sure if I need 16x6.5 or 16x7 I think either will work? you tell me.



any thoughts?

Here are the specs - If I do grab these will I need to worry about the bore size and get a "washer" (probably not called washer) to put on there?

options are:
Specs: 16x7 4x100 +40mm offset 67.1mm bore
Specs: 16x6.5 4x100 +45mm offset 56.1mm bore

thanks for the help btw

 

both those sizes should fit
the mini has 56.1mm bore so you wouldn't need a washer (called a hubcentric ring) for the 6.5 ones

as for picking:
i would choose based on what tire size you want to run
or if you want to run in H-stock SCCA etc

 

I can't just let this go by uncommented-on. It's GORGEOUS!!!! OMG! Awesome!

I'm not just saying that because I have them on my car, either...

Thanks for the info. If I wanted to put rims with a bore size of 67.1 I would just buy hub centric rings with an inner diameter of 56.1mm and outside diameter of 67.1 ? I see plastic and aluminum. What do most people use?

Also does a +40mm vs +45mm offset make a difference? Can you tell I'm new to aftermarket wheels? Thanks again.

 

yup that is what you would want

both plastic and aluminum are widely used
both have pros and cons

personally i have used plastic on street/autoX/track and haven't had any issues with them melting or being hard to remove (i clean them each time i rotate my tires ~2,000 miles) <- track days are hard on the front tires

i got plastic cuz they were cheaper

 

I am looking for new wheels, i like the white mesh Tenzo M (17or 18??) but i'm afraid of the color!!

Has anyone put 18 with lowered springs?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,OJC721

 

Tenzo M 18! lol i think itll look good

 

look up-page to see how I feel about white wheels on CR MINIs.

If you're not OCD at all about your MINI, white wheels will work for you. They'll soon be black and you'll be happy.

If your'e extremely OCD about your MINI, white wheels will work for you. You'll spend 20 minutes a day cleaning them and you'll be happy.

If you fall anywhere in between, stay away from white wheels.

And if you do get them, make sure you have low-dust pads also.

 

The Tenzos come in other colors... maybe try gunmetal if you're afraid of the white (and with good reason).

 

That's a good option... for the weak-hearted.

But for eye-popping, show-car, stunning appearance, white wheels are IT. (at least on CR/White)

 

I like the white Tenzo's...the only other color that wouldn't be at least a little bit of a PIA would be black. right?

I want to know, who is a good vendor to get brands not carried by Tire Rack?
