Right upfront....
Some of you know I built another site. Well, on that site I've just built a tool where people can put up pictures and data about their wheels. This is shared with all in a searchable database.
To make it truly a valuable tool for the entire community please add your wheels.

You do have to be registered to add wheel info but you not need to be registered to view or search.
With a little help we can all make this a very useful tool for all.
Thanks

Poor balancing, wheel(s) are bent, or tire(s) are out of round.

When I was 'in the hunt' for new wheels someone shared with me that cheaper brands of spacers are not milled as finely as others causing vibrtation

Hubcentric Rings
They should be very snug. I had to have mine replaced because the tire shop gave me the incorrect size and I had the same issue as you are describing. The original hubcentric rings were sloppy and my correct size rings "snap" into place.

I think that is the problem...the hub centrics do not fit tight.
Going back to the shop tomorrow so they can have a look at them.
Thanks for the info everyone.

Holy crap. It took three days, but I got through the entire thread. And I didn't even read all the posts (just skimmed for pictures
)
Some really great setups out there. Thanks for making my decision infinitely more difficult

Just as soon as you got it figured another set of wheels or another tire review comes across your browser.
While it's still only just getting started up Gnatster has wheel database over on Motoring Alliance you might want to check out

Is that the paid membership section of the forum? What sort of info is in the database?

All kinds of info. Everything from model and color to wheel and tire brand, type, offset, weight, spacer or studs used, BBK notes and images of the wheels on MINI.
It is small now, but the more people that contrinute the better it will be. Even if the wheel is in there already no two MINI's are the same so add yours in too please, OEM as well!!.

Tenzo Type-M ?
Anyone have these?
I've been looking for a black rim, I like the Tenzo M type but could only find it with a sliver or red lip until I recently found them in all black. I'd love to see them on Mini.

Why yes...that wonderful, if I say so myself, WheelFinder app I wrote happens to have an entry.
Just go to the WheelFinder and search the Wheel Brand Name of Tenzo

If you can bear with the red lip, there's a set for sale in the marketplace... $700 I believe for a set of 18's...I'd buy them, but they're too big for my tastes right now...

Can you buy pinstrip decals for rims? I've got them on my motorcycle but didn't know you could get them for cars as well.
