Hello,

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.

man, I really love the Bumps but can't get them until I use up my runflats :(

 

Keep the RunFlats on the OEM rims for winter / off season use, and get the bumps and some good rubber for the rest of the year!

Thanks for the post!

 

Do you have a wheel weight on the Foils in 16x7 size? Thanks!

 

Thanks for asking!

Weight of actual wheel with cap (no box no tire) is 15.2 lbs.

WOW that is LIGHT!

Let me know if I can help further!

 

Do the twilites come without the stripes?

 

All of the Twilites do come with the stripe. You can remove or cover it if you choose.

Hope that helps!

 

can i use this rims with my OEM tires (runflat)?

 

Thanks for asking! Yes all these wheels work with the OEM tires!

 

I am buying this but is there like a time limit because it might take about a month for me to have them over here at mexico xD, (i got US address and bought alta things before)

 

I think that will be fine! Keep us posted and thank you for the business!

 

I have RFs on my Bumps.

 

They were running well on MINIs ON TOP up MT Washington and the numerous scenery rides we had.

 

If anybody has pictures of the Twilite wheels in grey post them. I would love to see those. Do red striped wheels look good on any car or do you need some red accents around the car to make it look right?

 

Don't quote me on this, but I think you can get them with a black "stripe".

 

Just put these on my mini...



16" twilights in grey.

Those look great on your mini. They look much larger than 16" which is nice... What size tire are you running?

 

I'm too lazy right now to get up and go look , but I believe they are 205/50 R16's. Kumho Ecsta ast's.

Later this summer thinking of getting some Dunlop Star tires (Car and Driver just rated them really high) and trying to switch to something like a 215, or hopefully a 225/45 R16.

They really turned out better than I expected. The grey really goes well with the trim. I didn't think a gloss black would look good on mine...and these really turned out nice.

Brian

 

Thanks for the post and pic! Sure many people appreciate it beyond us at ALTA! Thanks again!

 

Please confirm that:
- The Konig Twilite will fit on a JCW fartory caliper without spacer?
- Can I replace the konig center cap with my oem JCW?
- And the red lips are painted or it's a sticker?

Tnx a lot
J.

 

***Twilites WILL fit on a JCW factory caliper without spacer!
****MINI wheels use a 2 inch diameter centercap whereas the Konig's use 2.2...you might be able to mod a Konig centercap to use a MINI JCW sticker.
******Definitely paint on this baby!!

Hope this helps! PLEASE let me know if we can be of more assistance!

 

Does ALTA carry the Twilites in 16" ?

 

We do! PM me for details.

Can I use OEM bolts on my JCW factory (2009) with Twilites?

Tnx again!

 

Those centercap stickers are available at the MINI dealerships...Might save you on shipping! The Twilites require special lug bolts (which we stock) for install. Hope this helps!
