Is this the best choice for Minis or what? Why is everyone so into these wheels??

 

They're realitively lightweight for the cost. Many styles in 4 x 100 bolt pattern. Offer some pretty agressive, good looking wheels.


I'm looking at some but have others in mind now that I've chosen the direction of the car.

 

They're lightweight, good quality finish, and pretty strong wheels. It also helps that they readily offer the proper specs for fitment on our cars.

 

And they look great...





But keep an eye out for this...



They're generally very strong but bad things can still happen to good wheels.

 

that'll buff right out

 

Sounds like a job for sledge-o-matic!

 

And they easily accept my BBK without spacers

 

Not really true. My 17x7's don't clear my bbk without spacers... Regardless they are good wheels for the price. A good compromise for price vs performance vs looks.

They are however... horribly played out. Just about every 3rd mini has them and because of that, I'm hunting for new DD wheels... and the oz ul's will be my track set.

 

Your right. I should have mentioned the fact I have the 18X7 ET42 Ultralegerras, which easily clear without a spacer.

 

beautiful rims. looking forward to getting these OZ black ones

 

I really like Ultraleggeras, but liked the Konig Feathers almost as much and since I can purchase 2 feathers for the price of Ultraleggeras I am going with the feathers and if a rim gets messed up I will not cry like I would if I paid $270 a wheel for the Ultraleggera.

 

The new ones are called Ultraleggera HLT.... any difference?

 

They are lighter in weight. The older Ultras weigh in at 16lbs. Which is still very good. The new ones were said to weigh in at 13.7lbs.

 

The HLT's start at 19" though...
