Classic Wheels: Suggestions Badly Needed

I love the look of classic Mini wheels (Superlites, Panasports, etc), and want this style in black in 16". Rota RB's in Royal Black would work but no one has them in stock. VERY FRUSTRATING. I've got a 07 MCS. Do the xxr 513 wheels fit? Any suggestions?? I've got to switch my Blizzaks asap - Spring has sprung!

I have 16inch ASA JH6 wheels mounted with winter tires. They are classic looking like panasports. Mine are silver and I bought them from TireRack. I think they were $139 each. I don't know if they make black. You can see them in my gallery.

I just switched back to my bridge spokes with summer tires and I prefer the classic look. Good luck.

18racing.com has the Rota RB's in flat black. I went with the 17s on the R56 to fill the wheel wells a bit better than 16s. Use the 'check inventory' link to see what sizes and colors they have. The regular catalog web pages are out of date on their site.

FYI, the "check inventory" link at 18racing is not always accurate either. It said they had 16" silver RBs in stock last week, I emailed Jessica to confirm that they had them in stock (was told they did), paid, and then 4 days later got an email saying there was an error and they were actually not in stock (they issued a refund after another 4 days). I was told that they only had gunmetal in stock at this time. In any case, I'd call and ask them to physically check stock before you place an order - they aren't the quickest at responding to emails and their site is no indication of actual stock.

Perhaps machii.net?
