Awesome! Really unique look.

Question for all you beautiful wheel owners: do you put wheel locks on em? Or is it not worth the pain?

 

I do it just to not make it as easy for potential thieves. Bottom line is, if they want it, they'll get it. Just making it slightly more difficult for them.

 

When I bought my wheels off of Ebay, they came with Gorilla wheel locks, so I didn't even have a choice. I definitely don't think it's a pain, though, it's no different than putting on any other bolt socket on your drill. I just keep the wheel lock socket key in my glove compartment.

 

Thanks! I'm really enjoying them...they have been getting attention!

As for wheels locks...I have a set that came with my stock wheels, but the holes are too small on my Enkei's for the locks to fit...bummer. So, no wheel locks for me unfortunately.

Nice "Winter" wheels , LOL! It's probably just me, but the GP just doesn't look right without the GP wheels

 

Agree, but whatcha gonna do

 

Been running 17" web spoke stock rims since the start.
I've had to replace 3 of them due to the wonderful Michigan potholes.

After 100K I have finally upgraded to some aftermarket wheels.
I decided on the Konig Lace since they are nice looking and affordable.

I can't even describe how much of a smoother ride I have.

So I present to you SgtPepper sitting on 16" Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires wrapped around 16" Konig Lace rims.

Isn't that pretty much the worst thing you could do? If I was a thief and saw a lock, I'd quickly pop the door and check the glove box. Might want to move it somewhere more secure...

Perhaps taped up inside one of the light access panels in the boot?



Nice! Those wheels have a great 3 dimensional form to them, really cool.

 

I agree. I love your selection in wheels but the black ones just compliment the car so much better.

Reference to the white cooper with 18" breytons and 16" black 7 spoke.

 

All black rims are sick!! Should be stock item.

 

Very unlikely a potential wheel thief will open up the car to look for the lock. Either they'll already have the key or just take a socket and a hammer to force it on to take the wheel off. That's how the shops do it if you lose your key. It works, just takes a few seconds longer. Locks are just a deterrent, not a REAL effective security tool. As I said, if a thief wants it, they'll get it.

My ASA AR1 chrome wheels on my 2012 Mini.

 

Nice. What's the word on those AR3's? Did I miss them around here? Did they work out?

 

17x7.5 Enkei Ammodo from Tire Rack. $150, 20lbs, with Blizzak run-flats for winter use.

They have that little bit more offset, seems to really help the look overall, IMHO. No rubbing noticed yet, don't think it will be an issue.

 

Good looking wheels, spiney. They remind me a little of the stock wheels on my buddy's BMW.

 

AR3's are great too! There will be pictures posted tomorrow I just heard........

 

Here are Albiecrazy's former wheels.....2008 Pepper White Base.

 

george_talbot :: Ok, so your the second person to post these wheels, so what EXACTLY are they. Besides bad ***!!!!

 

Can someone identify this wheels?

Are they Rota Grids? Maybe Grid drift series or whatever they are called? Offset maybe?

I know that they are not Volks, and they are 17"





I love the concave style.
