Kewl. You guys are starting to make R56s attractive.

 

Well they arrived today and I'm a likin' them. Wife approves too!
Now if I can figure out how to post a pic....

 

Ok, that worked!
Now for a little suspension modding .

First thing I noticed with new wheels is quicker outta the hole. Second thing is quieter. Third is quieter. Fourth is that the car is slightly smoother.

 

Like the wheel alot hifi,
it is my wheel of choice......
for now i'm spendin my mini bucks on springs and a sway bar,
but that wheel hopefully will be on by sept.
any delay when you ordered??
any install problems?
thanks
boxcars

 

Woohoo, just went for a good spin.
Thanks for the compliment Boxcars. There seemed to be no problems so far on the car or while installing (other than resetting the tire pressure indicator).
They took about half a week to order but there was a set locally. Other than that I think they are on backorder everywhere (at least for the 16" silver).
The tires took a lot longer to get here but after a little over a week, they arrived.
Running BF Goodrich UHP a/s
Good luck...

 

 

Sweet car UBDylan! Love the grill. Black works VERY well .

 

I received one pair today, but the other pair has been rescheduled for tomorrow, thanks UPS.

Pics by the weekend. They look nice.

 

 

Keep us posted yea or nay, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on some wheels. I was interested in the rota's but the feathers really grew on me...

 

Finally mounted, feels good to have 16s again after running 15s for so long, much crisper. And I'm still feeling the gold.

 

Is there a wheel that looks like the Feather in 18"?

TIA

 

Pics, pics, pix, picz, picks, pikz???

Any pics yet. You know I have been waiting for you to get these.

 

Been awhile since I promised to upload pics, huh?

But here they are.. Full set here (10).

First, thoughts -
Finish + overall quality very good, and they look great in person. I'm glad I went with the gold, altho it's pretty "loud" for me. Offset is good, I'm still running my 5mm spacers all around. Rear tires rub on outside plastic fender with a carload. I drove to Chicago and back (900mi each way) and it rubbed over hard bumps, the fender plastic is shaved off, onto the tires in concentric circles. But this ain't a negative, I'm low + the spacers, fit is perfect.

One negative? I already rashed one wheel! The rear one in these pics, see if you can see it. Turns out with 215/45/R16s, the spokes still poke out. I had the wheel standing up during a wheel change, and it fell face forward, scarring each and every spoke. My stupidity, but I think I'll try for 225s next time around to avoid future accidents. I think a wider tire would also look better aesthetically (215 = just right for the 7" wheel, but I prefer either a tiny bit of stretch or alternatively a little tire bulge).

Still holding up fine since I threw them on a month ago. Just cleaned them for the first time, was a breeze and they're good to go. Onto the pics..

 

wow, the SAME thing happened to me with my Konigs, set a tire up just for a second then WHAM, down on the pavement. Luckily mine are flat black so it was easy to fix up.

 

RedSkunk - The gold works well on your car. Lookin' good!

 

Heres some recent shots of my feathers, and the car connected to them. 17x7

 

At one time, I wanted the Konig Daylite Gold in my IB/W but had second thoughts on the color combination not until I saw yours! Congrats!

 

Thanks for the pics. Now I have a good reference to look at. I have some real decision making to do.

Silver? Gold?

Gold? Silver?

 

those look fantastic on your Blue S ...

so what is the definitive answer on the R56/R55 fitment on these Feathers.
I really would like to get a bronze set for my Hot Chocolate Clubman

 

The gold Feathers work really well on your car ! I like em !

 

where are you guys getting your Konig Feathers for 17" I have seen a great price at performanceplustire.com for $133 each and they have a local location in Long Beach about 40 Miles from me? Any other good places to get them? Are most people using spacers? Did the center caps come with the wheels? What types of tires are you guys using, I was thinking of Yokohoma S Drives, Falken, or BFG. I live in Socal so I was thinking of Summer type of tires with a 300-380 wear rating.

 

they look great.
i really like the look of 16s on your car.

 

f-n gorgeous.
great choice

Those look excellent RedSkunk!!! Ohhhh now I wanna lower mine!!! What are you using to drop yer Mini?
I really like these wheels and the ride of the BF Goodrich's are excellent. I don't feel like I've lost anything in day to day "spirited" driving.
Cheers
