those are NOT m3 wheels

m3 are 5 lugs minis are 4 lugs, so its to expensive to put m3 wheels on the mini

but there is a company that makes replicas, search Mini2 and u can find it there

elitecoopers--dont get those tenzos. they look good, i had them for 2 weeks on my integra about 3 years ago. tehy are copies of ssr schumachers from japan. copy wheels arent good. spend a bit more and get quality :smile:

dont mean to be offtopic, but wanted to answer alex's questions, since he is the sponser of this forum


hehe man i have had 14 cars over the last 3.5 years

i have had plenty of cars

here was the final product

blitz/hks all over it :smile:

see if u recognize the OG blitz wheels discontinued in 1993. bought for 300 dollars in portland, after two years sold for 5100



both of these cars were turbo charged

thanks alex

whats funny is some members on this board who are modding for the first time
or buying adr rims or wahtever

accuse me of being a "bling blinger" and rice

haha..i live in los angeles, to me bling bling is all about dub dueces and spinners!

people tell me why i spend 1K per rim or more
when i can buy the whole package for 1k

well since ur in this business u very well know, a rim built for 150 bucks is very diff than a blitz that sells for 700 bucks, or a volk for 800 or zauber gettins for 1K a piece
at some point you do get what you pay for

at the end, its peoples car, and as long as they are happy i am happy.
but i just laugh and find it funny when they call me rice,

ya those r cool, who is ur friend, and how much did u get them for? and how were u gonna go about getting the Alessios? info please!

also the Alessios r pretty cheap, 185 for 17x7.5 (which wont fit stock tires) and 210 for 18x8, which r both w/o tires... i might get these, even though i want them to fit stock tires... anyone know of any that will fit the stock tires that look like these



also the Stilauto SR500 are always a possibility and i wonder how these would look on the mini...

My new OZ Crono's are 'Photoshoped' here, currently the wheels are at the powder coater and will be ready next week, but this is what they will look like.
The center caps will be read with white letters all custom done with a red OZ on the one spoke.

i think of all the wheels i have seen harmini, hank, smg, miniphyter808, and the two members with the ssr gti have the best looking wheels in my opinion

good brands, well build, classy look
