I just picked up a set for my GP. I got the Titanium Tech with Bridgestone RE 11 tires(215/45/17 from Tire Rack. I received Exellent service from Alex. I ordered them Friday night I got them delivered Monday afternoon, and I just finished putting them on. I will get pics later as my other half has the camera.

Alex, the Tire Rack site shows a 16" Alleggerita coming soon for MINI - do you know the offset and weight?

16x7 et37 expect 16 lbs a wheel. I'll weigh them once we get them!

I used the drop-down menu from your profile name. Apparently that didn't work. I sent you a new one to the e-mail in your sig.

it does help with the accel, but not a HUGE difference unless your coming from a wheel 21lbs or heavier.

I deff noticed the difference at the track with the lighter Oz's.

In the end that comes down to the tire, but wrapped with my two sets - the General Exclaim UHPs for street and Direzza Sport Star Specs for the track- they ride great. Strong wheels, but if you live in a severely pot holed area of the country, beware of them because they will ding and dent on deep pot holes. Can't beat them price per pound though.

They stand up well here in CT in the summer and I love the ride.

Oh THANK YOU, now I know what to say when my family keeps looking at me like I have grown a 3rd head! (the old woman has definitely lost it, she is putting what on a station wagon....is kind of how it goes)
I have pepper white/Black roof Clubman and can't decide between the OZ alleggerita HLT 18' in matte graphite OR OZ Formula HLT 18" in painted black. While I don't have black stripes, I have black badges, handles and have blacked out all the chrome. My head says go black, my heart really likes the alleggerita just a bit more in that matt graphite.....what to do. what to do. They are both on sale so need to make up my mind as the Michelin Pilot Sports 4S that are going with have a rebate promotion starting tomorrow (3/17/21) and want to get them ordered.

went with the OZ Formula HLT instead in black

They were on sale and ended up being only about half the cost, which is always a good thing

Love them.

Superturismo AERO in star graphite

What do you do when you discover the trim piece you wanted doesn't fit on the wheels you put on your car just the day before? Besides being embarrassed, took the money was going to use under the hood, got what I wanted and am selling the others. AND continue the under the hood upgrades very, very slowly! Thanks to Tire Rack for giving me a smoking deal and understanding how I mixed them up.

I just love OZ wheels, the Italians do such a fabulous job on making the functional beautiful

Looks so good with pepper white.
