Hi, my name is Thai and I am a very indecisive person. Spring is rolling around soon and I need new wheels. I currently am rolling around the stock 17" wheels, wrapped in Blizzaks, and I want to keep those together for winter driving. For the summer, I currently have the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s, also 17". Those are what will be going with the new wheels.

This is where you guys come in. I would like, if you guys have time, to have everyone help me pick out a new set. My current budget is 250 per wheel (or lower) shipped, with spacers and all that optional above that. My car is lowered a couple of inches, so I'm afraid of wheels that force me to space it out too much, since I might rub on the arch. I've attached the pretty much stock looking photo of my car to this post, so everyone has an idea of what I'm working with. The wheels that I've look at so far are the Breyton GTS-R Minis, the OZ Ultraleggeras, and the Borbet LV4s. I'm more into darker wheels, black or gray or the like, but wouldn't be opposed to something else. Maybe I'm not seeing some amazing set that's out there.

So, how about it, what does everyone think? I'll pick up whichever wheel the majority agrees on. (Please don't pick something ugly just for the heck of it! )

Thanks!

 

rota rb. best looking aftermarket wheel for a mini. imho

 

I guess this is the winner so far? Ha

 

Gotta say I love my black Enkei PF01's. 17x7 +38 offset. The offset is perfect. No rubbing, and no spacers needed. Just a great stance. Also decently lightweight at around 15.6 lbs.

 

The Rota rb and Enkei are both popular among miniacs. Both the Enkei Racing RPF1 and the PF01 are on sale at Tire Rack. Specs below.

RPF1: Wt.=14.6#; et43; $230, now $216.
PF01: Wt.=15.8#; et38; $243, now $230.

 

I went Enkei EDR9 17"
I like the spoked look. I do like the tradition MINI wheel look as well.

 

Both the ERD9s and the PF01s look pretty nice.

 

Wanna' know what a Wheel is going to look like on your MINI...
www.wheelsnext.com offers this possibility!!

 

17" Rota MC wheels look sick on mini's and are reasonably priced

 

I vote for the Enkei PF01's. I use them with slicks for the track. Nice and light, and strong enough for the street. Second choice would be the OZ Ultras. You may want to check out the Tires and Wheels subsection in the Marketplace.
