I haven't seen them on a MINI, but here and here are some pics of them on other cars. I considered the machined face version myself, but decided to go with a different wheel.

They offer them in 37 offset also.

37 offset and 3mm spacers would be perfect

Those are awsome. My buddy just told me about them last week. Nice

Is the 45 offset too much with a 18x8 wheel?

God I want those wheels in the black with red lip SOOOOOO bad, but I too was a little worried about the 8" wide wheel and the offset. The 18x8 Tenzos seem to be working for this guy though...

Gad... these are sweet. I ended up with ASA AR2s for my winter wheels, but would have loved a set of 17x7 of these instead... price is a little high (compared to the ASAs) though... If I didn't already have black R105s for my summer wheels, I'd be looking at the 18x8s for those.

Anyone have pics of these on a MINI?

ltjpunk7 03-21-2008 08:33 AM

Yeah, I agree. I like these more than the ASA AR1's--which I'm looking at--but I just can't justify paying $100 more per wheel. Looks like ASA's it will be this summer!

But damn those look sweet in bronze.:nod:

if anyone gets these pleeeease post pics and say how they are cuz i want some bronze ones....

agranger 04-05-2008 07:46 PM

I saw the bronze type M's and it's the only wheel that would tempt me away from my webspokes!

MotoGreg 04-06-2008 10:01 AM

Like Skillet said above, the Mach 10 (ten spokes) shown above are 18x7.5 with a 42 offset. I've had them on mine for about eight months and when I saw the new Mach 8 I was interested until I saw that they were 8" wide.

weezer2282 04-14-2008 07:51 PM

I have some 17" type-m's coming in black with the red stripe.:thumbsup:

PlayPlay 04-14-2008 08:28 PM

ooo cant wait

cucho 04-14-2008 08:39 PM

Nice wheels by how heavy are they?

skillet 04-15-2008 06:30 AM

Nice :thumbsup: Post when you get them :nod:

lurch70 04-16-2008 09:10 PM

I was looking at the M's also as they look great ... but just as an FYI ... check this thread on another forum about the M's ...

http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=107526.0

the spokes stick out further from the lip giving them a weird look. A darker wheel might not be as prominent, but the machined one on that car looks strange.

Yep! I'd love to see the pics and have the full specs on your purchase. I'd probably go with 17" too.

weezer2282 04-17-2008 04:21 PM

They should be here next week. I'll post pics when I get them on. Package shipping weight with the rims plus Falken 912s in 205/45/17 is 40lbs. These looked interesting and they weren't too expensive. They are going on a 60 mile a day daily driver so I was looking for something inexpensive or else I would have stayed with the stock 16" rims. There's lots of other rims out there that I like that would probably have been $1-2k more, but I couldn't justify that for a daily driver. If I don't like them or they are crap then I can sell them and go back to the stockers.:thumbsup:

Got the tires and rims in today and put them on this evening. I like them a lot. I love how quiet the Falkens are compared to my worn out Yoko's. They were purchased from wheelfire.com and they were very friendly and provided great service. Packaging when I received them was excellent. I'm very pleased with how they look. Seeing those pics of this style rim on some other cars gave me a few second thoughts. Right now I am very pleased.:grin: I am also lowered on JCW suspension.:thumbsup:
