Now that I have turned my Bridge-Spokes into winter wheels, time for summers. Stuck on the followingL

O.Z. Ultralaggera 17x7 Black / Pricey
O.Z. Superturismo 17x7 Black / Pricey
Enkei Racing RPF-1 17x7 Black / Pattern forming
Montegi SP-10 17x7 Black
Breyton GTS-R Mini

So many to choose from. Price is a factor, but long life is a priority. If someone has another suggestion for black rims, I'm all eyes.

haha tnx.I custom designed this badge myself, then i had it created by Gobadges.com
They have my permission to sell my design so they should have it up for sale. There is also one with a gorilla on it that i made. They have really nice quality badges.

heres some 15's!

Got these as a christmas present. Hyper Black motegi racing sp10 15x7. 205/55r/15 yokohama s.drive tires. Got em' off tire rack. Very happy with them . I had 16" mini x-lites on before (for sale btw). I like the 15's a lot, from a looks and performance standpoint. Funnily enough, i've noticed a huge improvement in gas mileage, not to mention it handles better and accelerates a bit faster. Very happy with the 15's

LOVE THIS LOOK

I think I would really like these wheels color matched to my MINI as well, and sitting low on some coilovers. Of course the ride with a dropped suspension on 19" wheels and 30 series tires would be....(ouch).....well, at least it would look HOT rolling off the trailer, because I know I could never drive it on the roads in my region of the country. But it is nice to dream...

Yah, they're the fake LM's that are made by Rota.

The centercaps are the joke centercaps that I made for the owner. They say "BSs" in the BBS font to poke fun at their 'fake' nature.

I just looked in the BBS catalog and it looks a whole lot like the 2pc LM style wheel to me too. Nice looking knockoff...

Here's from the BBS catalog. $650 per wheel - yowsers Definitely a premium wheel!
