Show me your WHEELS!

nice! i like those RH's. :thumbsup: what do you guys think about the AQ Maxilites? i was thinking about getting those anchors someday... not sure how much they weight, but looks kinda heavy. \ I think its a very interesting wheel. I think it could look absolutely great on SOME cars. It requires a very specific style in my opinion. They are very "bulbous" and smooth. And i agree, they seem to be super heavy. http://www.hosokawa.co.jp/bond-mini/gallery/images/162_6.jpg http://www016.upp.so-net.ne.jp/good-mini-life/bluemoon/bluemoon_top.jpg http://www016.upp.so-net.ne.jp/good-mini-life/bluemoon/moon_ex15.jpg http://www016.upp.so-net.ne.jp/good-mini-life/owners/fuchi_12.jpg http://www016.upp.so-net.ne.jp/good-mini-life/owners/fuchi_5.jpg Both above cars now run bigger, newer wheels.

Anyone have a set of these on your MINI? Very G35-ish, but nice. Claimed to fit MINI - 17X7.0 +40. Weight? Cast/forged?

Aside from pic's of someone's Hyundai this is the only image I could find... it's from an ebay store.

I don't like the extra holes either (unless you're talking the center cap/lug - which I think is removable). I just like the spokes. I wish mnfrs. would just do 4x100 or whatever, but alas the almighty buck dictates otherwise.

NIIIIICE! These sure are beauties. I like em almost as much as the HRE 840, but I squirm at the thought of a pothole.

They sure sell some nice wheels....but really heavy. Are they applicable to the Mini? Offsets? Accept big brakes? etc.....

yah, they look cool, but not sure how much rubola we would get...

i might look into those C2's instead... i always like mesh wheels on our MCS for dressup. be like berky, 18" mesh and bbk's down the road.
