I held a set up to my Spark Silver Clubman and wasn't feeling it. The gold didn't play well to me. BUT to another it might be just fine. I would prefer well,......the wheels I put on!

I have a set in 17" on sale, and we also have the 18" like shown below. Let me know if I can help at all! (Or if I helped at all here. Sorry if I missed the boat on the answer!)

Here at ALTA we have several new wheels in stock that need photos of them on MINIs. Below you will see a list of these wheels, if you buy a set from us after 06/01/2009 and send us some pictures* of them on your MINI we will give you a credit of $40.00.

Konig Bump SILVER BLACK


Konig Twilite GREY WHITE GOLD


Konig Zero


Konig Helium BRONZ or SILVER


Konig Foil


This is not a contest or anything related as such. Qualified Submitted Pictures will be posted in this thread for all to see.
*Submitted pictures are property of ALTA Performance and will be used on sales and marketing materials, web sites and forum boards around the world. Only pictures that are of good quality and that can be used will qualify for the $40.00 credit. For best results take the pictures with a back ground as clutter free as possible. Pictures of your car in the driveway NEVER really look good, so take it someplace nice or "sporty" like a race track. Remember the pictures are to show off the wheels so a good side profile shot, 3/4 shot (front and rear) and one close up showing the fender and whole wheel is desirable. Pictures of the wheels spinning will not qualify. Lighting is important, the wheels MUST be visible.

Suggestions for locations
Schools
Race Tracks
Fancy Restaurant
Sports Complexes
Scenic Views/Vistas

I'm a Oregon Duck Football fan so take a picture with Autzen Stadium fully framed in the picture and I will bump your credit to $50.00.


Email Pictures to: sales@altaperformance.com
Include in the email your name, NAM name, ALTA invoice number, and purchase date.
Just follow those directions and John will get you covered ASAP! Thanks again! Have a GREAT weekend!

Could you please provide more info on this? I just purchased a set of Twilites in Matte Gray w/ red stripe locally since I asked what the shipping costs would be from you guys and . (I know its not your fault)

Anyways, I do not have them with me yet and would like to know if I need to purchase these special lug bolts from you.

By the way, I was hesitant about the red stripe, but after doing a "test" fit on my DS/B they looked really good. And I have the stock R90's in anthracite as comparison... I probably would not have purchased these wheels had I not done a test fit. Even so, the 16.2 lbs per wheel weight sealed the deal for me, on top of the local pricing, of course.

Alta, please let me know about those special lug bolts. Thanks

I am interested in the Bumps, but want to know how the TPMS system transfers, if at all. Perhaps a n00b question, so sorry if the answer is simple.

And can I ask for the weights of the Bump, the Zero and the Twilite in 17"?

Thanks.

Hi Ladybug,
Can you get me the production date of your car? MINI in it's infinite wisdom changed the design of the sensors and we have found out the 2010 sensors are completely different. Feel free to PM me the info! Thanks.
