FINALLY! New shoes for me - an ode to Konky ;)

The MINI's first set of aftermarket wheels, replacing the S-lites. I loved those S-lites, but they were heavy, as we all know, and just a bit too stock looking (duh) for me.

Bought these overseas from a vendor in the UK - got a great deal from them, brand new too, still in boxes

Let me know what you think!

That is scary situation in the pic, that parking space is sketchy I would be way too worried to leave my car there, in fear that the other cars would play bumper cars with my MINI.

Nice wheels btw.

Hahaha - it does look like that doesn't it? That's at my work at Herb Chambers BMW in Boston - it's the employee lot so we pack them in tight, but we all come out and shuffle to get the cars out so no one bangs into each other. Note the light post to my right - I'm the only car that can tuck next to that. Parking's at a premium to say the least....

Do you have any more information on those wheels. Manufacturer, web site, cost?

I always lusted after Konky's wheels, but discovered that BBS discontinued them.

Thanks

Sadly, they were a leftover/overstock set that the company in the UK had. Saw them on ebay.co.uk, emailed them, made it happen.
