Just had my new wheels installed yesterday. Transferred over my Dunlop Star Specs from oem rims to the new wheels. They are OZ Allegerritas in 16x7, +37 offset with black finish. Tires are Dunlop Starspecs in 205/50-16

Hi,

I don't know if I can ask it here but feel free to trash my post if I'm on the wrong topic.

I want to get Tenzo R DC-5 version 2 wheels, in 18".
My car is Chili Red, and I hesitate a lot about the wheels color? Black or Bronze?
That's a tough choice, I wanted to know what you guys think about it? Would you go black or bronze?

Thank you for your help

I would go with black for sure! Black and red is always a great combination. Bronze would cheapen the look of your Mini IMO.

if i do decide to ditch my SE37K for this, i'm gonna be using the Nitto NeoGens i have now. but in the picture, the TE37 has Bridgestone RE55S mounted which i'll be testing on the track

W.G.: GO BRONZE! black is great, but doesn't have the visual statement that bronze does!

This is a very good image that was posted here in the forum.
I think bronze looks really nice on a red mini.

At first I was going for the black ones, but that's exactly this picture which made me doubt...
Mmh it's hard to decide.

Damnit Rally, you make it look so easy.

I dig them more than the Audi wheels.

I'm not sure yet. They were originally just going to be temporary wheels because I didn't think the audi wheels were going to make it in time for an upcoming show but they showed up last minute so the benz wheels have just been sitting idly. They may become my winter wheels.

Right on! Not at all trying to look up your skirt, but do you have a link to how you do the 5-bolt conversion? Curious solely for my personal cars.

Thanks!

No, unfortunately I don't have a link to any how-to's or anything, sorry. I just worked with a machine shop that specialized in developing race axles. The engineers there were really helpful, so we worked out all the measurements and stuff and then they did all the work for me.
