Only black so far, I will vote for silver for you all!

Excellent question....wondering myself...

 

The wheel that was photographed was a 18x9 ET35, the spoke shape will not change.

Alex

 

Yeah! I don't mind black wheels on some cars, but it seems that all the manufacturers (at least a lot of the ones Tire Rack sells) are going with black or grey on all their wheels, and no regular silver - I hate the super-shiny silver that Gram Lights is putting on their wheels, for instance.

Show silver some love!!

 

That's usually a product of lower offsets. I don't think it'll be that extreme for the MINI fitment.

 

i agree with 70spop.

there should be an option for hyper silver or titanium color.
im not very big on black wheels either. althought they look nice
on some cars (still, needs sufficient lighting).

 

Yeah...case in point the M3 CSL wheel. LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the concave look, especially in the back, but I don't think that would ever be possible on a MINI.

BUT, if the wheel in this thread will look similar to the picture as Alex says....should be VERRRRY nice!

 

Lookin Good, I Love my Type C's but maybe I could use these on the street.

 

Just to be sure, will the 4 lug version have the same spoke count as the 5 lug? Thanks

 

alex: does this mean there will be a close-out sale on the type C-RS? i might need another set for a second set of track tires......

 

At this point it doesnt look like F will replace C, now it may be a compliment to C available in new applications. C's and C-rs's are not going to gain addional fitments, but are still current market.

Alex

 

Will any of these wheels, C or F, be available in 15x7?

 

They look like palo ubers.... wait, theres a bunch that look like that.

 

I agree, I don't like the black wheel fad.

In general, I don't like the sort of massively-aggressive-but-"subtle" look typical of "euro" tuned cars. So I'm out of touch, but whatever. Give this grouch his silver wheels

 

Both are!

Alex

 

Website shows Type C in only 15x6 for Mini....

 

15x7 is available ET30 - it will stick out, but it is available.

Alex

 

Or maybe the Palo Ubers look like them

 

Don't think they'd mix-n-match well with the ET42s I'm currently using for track wheels.

 

wow those would be perfect for my wife's cooper.

 

Alex, any more news on these? I just saw them on SSR's website, then did a google search and it lead me to this post. Thanks, I believe the wheel search is over.

 

no joke. I was just about to order something else.....must wait for more info!

 

Any chance these will be hub centric to the Mini (56.1)?

 

Will this be available in 17 x 8 with about a 38-40 offset?

 

Just a note of caution guys...i have SSR Type C RS 17 x 7.5 and 215 45 Goodyears....with Mach V springs lowering the car only 1 inch, I get almost constant rubbing from all corners on any bump in the road if I have any passengers. I may have to go back to JCW springs. Big waste of money.
