I'm looking for an alternative to the Gold Konig Daylites. They're discontinued it seems and I can't pull the trigger yet. Is there another wheel out there thats similar? I know there are lots of split spoke style wheels but what I like about the daylites is:

A: There's no fake 3 piece look
B: The spokes are parallel to each other instead of tapered
C: They're relatively cheap and light.

Where are you from? The local guy here has huge stock in konigs..

 

I'm in Utah. Does he ship?

 

I think he might.. This is his website https://www.zekescustomwheels.com/
Tell him Paul with the mini sent you

 

It looks like he doesn't have the daylites. Unless he doesn't list everything he has on the site.

He doesn't list all his wheels on his site

 

I do like those Enkeis, but I'm hoping to find something a little more BBS-ish looking.

I would love some LM's if they didn't have the bolts.

 

I gave him and call and he doesn't ship. I found two sites that list the daylites but when I call them they both say they're discontinued. Still on the hunt. I like the enkeis above but they're a little more than I wanted to spend. Still open to suggestions.

 

By chance did you call Konig and see if they can locate a set? Remember also your car uses a 14mm in stead of 12mm like the old MINI. So maybe you can find a set and have the wholes enlarged.

 

I just sent them an email to see if they could help track some down. What do you mean by old? Mine is the 1st gen. R53

 

I thought I saw that you had a newer MINI. My bad

 

No worries. I just wanted to clarify.
