Hi I was wondering if anyone here has the Hamann wheels. If so can you please post your pics and tire size you are running. I am trying to debate on getting 17 or 18 and would love to see the difference.

thanks

17" and 18" wheels
HAMANN offers three attractive wheel designs for the Mini. The HM4 is a 17" model, which is a handsome one-piece alloy wheel with five spokes, finished in silver, and has the look of a multi-piece wheel. The PG4 design not only looks like it; it actually is a multi-piece wheel. The 18" five-spoke wheel sports a polished lip. Once again a one-piece wheel, but nevertheless boasting an elegant multi-spoke design, we have the ANNIVERSARY I. With its silver finish and its high-gloss polished INOX stainless steel lip on the outer rim flange, the ANNIVERSARY I is available in 18” form, combining great looks with a practical solution as the stainless steel lip is exchangeable and can easily be replaced in the event of damage. Available wheel/tire combinations:
HM4: front / rear 8.0J x 17 Tires: front / rear 215/40 ZR17
PG4: front/rear 8.0J x 18 Tires: front / rear 215/35 ZR18 or 225/35 ZR18


ANNIVERSARY I: front / rear 8.0J x 18 Tires: front / rear 215/35 ZR18 or 225/35 ZR18

 

Silver HM4 17x8 et 43mm 24.2 lbs each


Silver PG4 18x8 et43mm 28 lbs each

 

do you know what size tires are running on the 18's?

 

The two tire sizes as mentioned above are

215/35-18 which is very likely in this picture since sidewall is very small and wheel gap is large. This would be good size if you are lowering your MINI.

or 225/35-18 which would be a better size given it is a 18x8 wheel however if you lower your MINI you will have very close clearance using a wider tire and rim combo. This is a good choice if you want better performance tires like Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric or you have stock suspension.

 

This is exactly the wheel I am looking for. I know they are no longer being manufactured. Any suggestions how to get a set?

Thanks,
