Looks Great!

 

I fell in love w/ these for my new AB MCs. Charcoal/silver band. I sent your question to them and got 25 lbs as an answer. 18".

 

25lbs is heavy but so are s-lites and those freakin wheels look awesome. just need more horsepower and it should be no problem.

 

WOW 25 lbs....thats freakin heavy. Looks like I might go with my first choice, the 18" Enkei RPM2's and they are only 18 lbs.

 

and me...
wow i dont know there were so many MINIs with these rims

but yes, as corrected before, these are 18x7.5 not 18x8

 

Tenzo's are awesome wheels. I just want less weight also. Any knowledge of the quality of Montegi?
These are only $190 for 18's and weigh about 19lbs.
Not h/j thread.

 

I have them and like them a lot.. and they are mad light for 18's...

 

^

Nice. I bet that rascal scoots looking at your mods. Have you done a 1/4 mile?
About $260 a wheel? I was thinking a bit less on wheels and more $ under the hood.

 

Tanks Mang
No..No 1/4 Mile yet...Been meaning to get down to Englishtown here in Jersey.
Haven't had the time and finally the weather is getting better for us...
Maybe soon though... 260 is close I was checking them out the other day and I think the 18's have gone ^ in price a bit...The only other mod I currently want to do under the hood is a GP Intercooler....only one I feel it's worth making the change for...

 

Those Look great on your car. Lovin it!

 

Wheezer, any idea how much the 17x7 weigh? Is it unreasonable to think that they would be about the same as the R90's since the 18x8's are about 25 pounds. Does anyone knows what BBK would fit the 17x7 without spacers?

MidniteCoop, great car. A little flashy and tasteful at the same time. IMHO.

 

About 17.9lbs I'd guess. Falken's site claims 22.1 lbs for 205/45/17 912's. The shipping weight was quoted at 40lbs. So it should be around 17-18lbs.

 

Midnight Coop, what fender is that? Loks nice with the gills. Also, what front difuser is that too? Looks hot bud! Just got the Type M's in 18's Black with red stripes with low pro tire. Also, what springs are you using for the drop?

 

Last month I installed Tenzo type m 17x7 flat dark silver on my DS Copper S.

 

Got my type M's and mounted them. I mounted 215/35/18 and they look like rubber bands, i love them! Will post pics soon. The 18x8 are very close fit. very tight tolerance to the strut in the front but all fit with no problem. I am very happy but now wil lower it and mount 23MM sway bar.

 

Dannyrotorpilot,
did you get the 45et offset on your 18x8s? Please get some pictures posted and let us know about any rubbing issues you may have. hard dips, speed bumps, hard cornering.

 

Yes I have the 45 offset and no I have not had any rubbing at all. I have not lowered the car so I cant say there will be no rubbing when i do. I dont see how spacers can be installed as they are already poking out. I will post pics soon!

 

Heres a few pics. I also insluded a pic of the front clearance with the strut. Will be lowered next week along with rear 23MM sway bar. I plan to install a rear diffuser and front air splitter. In the near future I look to install one of ALTAS exhaust as well as M7's AGS-R instake. I am super excited about the cooper and will post more pics as i go!

 

weezer2282 I really the wheels. Are the Falken tires pretty quiet compared to the Yokohomas you had before? Is your screen name after the bad weezer, my wife has hated them since Rivers Cuomo blew her off trying to get an autograph for our niece who was a big fan on a flight, he did not even pay for the Business class ticket he used miles to upgrade. I do like the song Pork and Beans though.

 

I just got mine, I love the look!

 

wow, 25lbs per wheel?? thats a little much for me.

 

Even for 18s, 25lbs is a lot to be haulin' around. I think mine are 21lbs, and I can feel a big difference compared to my 16lb Koseis.

But they look cool--so get them!!

Wow...that's some impressive tuck there!
