I can't find a single thing that I like about that MINI! But, to each his own - the guy who owns that MINI likes it all and that's all that matters.

20" Motegi DP1

These 20x7.5 Chrome Motegi DP1 wheels with Nitto Neo Gen 225/30zr20W Tires will soon be in the market place. I'm sure the previous owner loved them but they are just not my style.

I cleaned the car today and snapped a few pics as the sun was setting.

Their replacements just arrived from Tire Rack! That was some fast shipping. I'll post those up when I get them on this weekend.

I looked for Compomotives back when I first got my Mini. They look very serious, but they are quite heavy. I assume that is because they really are for race cars and need to be very sturdy.

I posted earlier on this thread but I have some TE37 knockoffs on my ride in white. They are the Rota Grids. More pix in my gallery if you want.

You can get a set of Volk TE37 from Tirerack $399/per. They're having a clearance sale. You will need a set of wheel stud conversion for these wheels
If the link doesn't work then search for 2008 Chevy Cobalt Sedan LS

Or you could have the wheel holes drilled. I'm all over this. New TE-37s for my ride. Get 'em while they're hot!!!

If you planning on swapping wheels for winter session then yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to drill on a set of $1600 wheels.
You can get the studs for $115. You probably have to pay more to have it professional drilled. Labor ain't cheap :/

Thanks for the link, thats probably a better way to go. I wonder how long these wheels have been on sale like this? I could always put my stock wheels back on if it got nasty down here, but its southern Spain, they dont know what snow looks like here.

You're very welcome. Those wheels have been on sale for over a month now. The price for those wheels is a steal . If you have the cash then go for it. I doubt you can find another deal like this. I'll post some photos of my wheels once I'm done replacing the bushings.

I KNOW! I dont think i've ever pressed "add to cart" faster than when i saw that price. Just waiting for tire rack to get the center caps in and then they'll be on their way. Any recommendations for a tire? I want to run 225s. Thanks

Question for all you guys.

Does any one know, what is the weight for the wheels from factory 09 JCW?

I am trying to get something lighter for track. So far the lightest i found on 17x7 was 14.6 lbs.

I also want to know how much, if there is any performance difference by the weight on each wheel per pound or so?
