Sorry, I don't have any extra web spokes available. Did not know this thread existed. Decided to post a picture of my '06 MCS.

 

Love the arch color

 

Thanks. I did the same thing on my old '02 MCS. It was Pure Silver with Dark Silver Metallic trim and the M7 Extreme Hood Scoop. With my '06 MCS, I took it further and did the roof, spoiler, mirror caps, and gas cap.

 

has anyone powder coated them in white???

 

I'd also really like to see photos of some Web Spoke 98 wheels painted white!

I plan to get a quote on painting just the four centers white to complement the white side mirrors on my hyper metallic blue MCS. But it will have to wait until I complete a brake job using the EBC greenstuff replacement pads as I need to see if the leftover black dust is reduced enough that the white will still look good. The quote will need to be much cheaper than purchasing a new set of white wheels.

 

just finished putting mines together today.

 

HAWT.

 

Guys,

I've developed a leak in the seam between the 2 pieces on one of my web spokes. I'm not a mechanic and don't have a torque wrench. A wheel repair guy and a remanufacturer he recommended won't touch it. I have no spare wheels so it's sitting at the shop. The reman recommended that I take the tire off and run a bead of silicone over the existing silicone myself, which sound easy. But then I'm reading here about re-using the bolts and torquing it just right and blue loctite and such. Now it sound much more complicated!

What should I do?

 

have you tried asking the mini dealership?

 

and just for kicks, here's a more recent web spoke shot for the thread.

 

I'm not sure I believe them. Unlike some 2-piece wheel designs, the web-spoke 2-piece design has nothing to do with sealing the air in. There is no existing sealant like there would be on a 3 piece wheel. Sounds like they're confused at what type of split-wheel the webspokes are.

On the webspokes the center just comes out and the barrel/lip remain. Even with the center piece removed the tire would still be sealed. There is no seam or sealant on the barrel that could be leaking.

If there is a leak in the barrel it sounds more like you have a crack in your wheel which would need to be welded, not sealed with sealant. Wheel repair shops should be able to do that easily and for rather cheap as long as the wheel is round and not too damaged. MINI Dealership won't be able to offer any help.

 

Awesome i have some at home im restoring and didnt want to break the seal on the snow tires. now ill be able to clean em up better! thanks !

 

I'd rather resurrect an old thread than start a new one, so, does anybody else have any cool color combos to add?

 

Are the Web Spoke wheels only available from a dealership? A one week Mini owner so a lot of questions...

 

MGoode, i believe you will find them here:

There is a regular Dragon attendee who has an Electric Blue MINI and painted the centers of his webspokes Electric Blue. Very nice look if you love EB.

 

 

One question, did you spray the inside of the rim as well? Meaning the piece that the tire is still on?

 

Ok, after much work this weekend, I finally got 3 of the 4 wheels done. Too tired to finish the drivers side front today, so i'll finish it up tomorrow.



These wheels are no joke! It is so hard to get every angle of the spokes. I actually pulled up some of the rubber when i was putting the lugs on..They would twist in the whell and pull up.

 

These are the wheels that I want! Amazing!

 

 

I have some of these for sale if anybody is interested

 

@ anandastar How much are you selling them for?

 

Do you still the wheels?
