I have the stock S-Lites on my New (4 days in my posession) Cooper S. But already my teenage friends are dissing my rims. I think they're great and kind of a throwback to the classic rims. Does anybody feel the same? Does anybody know of a wheel that is hip enough for the myself and the youth culture but still does keep to MINI's roots?

 

BBS RGRs.


I am getting the Bullets on my CR/CR, but in the future, I still might splurge for the RGRs.

 

Your teenage friends have not developed the taste you have . I would say do what you want not what they think . What do they drive? I think it may help to take a look at what they are rollin' in.

 

I love my s-lites/heavies. You get them powder coated a different color.

Mine will be Gloss black someday to go with the Dark Silver and Black top.

 

Pay up sucka

 

i dare anyone!!!

 

Wow ! They must 100lbs per wheel. These are the wheels that "Concerned Friends of ChillicooperS" (a not-for profit group) would like to see on his car . Just kiddin dude.......

 

huh..I thought the S-Lites look real nice on the MINI's... If your 'friends'
are a sport compact crowd, throw on some SSR's or VOLKs....that'll
shut them up.

 

I love my S-lites. I will probably keep them and continue to use them even though I plan on by some aftermarket rims. I do like that they are a bit of a throw back to rims like the panasports.

 

Ah, the joys of peer pressure. Go with your gut. Few wheels are as well integrated with the overall design of a car then the S-lites on the new Mini, imho. They just look fabulous and are completely distinctive. They are, and always will be, the "proper" wheel for the Mini.

 

Ditch the friends - keep the wheels

 

Get a 19% pulley and they will probably shut the f up about the wheels

 

17" BBS RKs. Or just keep the rims you have and get new friends. It's cheaper.

 

Dude, to listen to people who know nothing (teenage friends) is not wise.

Those S-Lites are some of the prettiest wheels in the world, it's just a shame that they arent light. They are Genuine too, like everyone in this world should be.

 

good advice!

 

What's this?

 

pully for the supercharger thats 19% smaller than the stock pully = More boost = Mucho Power for not that much money

 

do a forum search for "19% pulley" and you'll find a ton of info.

 

Dittos I'd love them if they were lighter by 10lbs:smile:

 

know doubt about that, everyone knows what everyone thought of my wheels, SNAP!!!


staggered sizes!!!!!

chris

 

and whos car is going into the magnaflow catalog......MINE!!!!!!!!

 

First off, who cares what your friends like. If you like your S-lites, then stick with them. But if you want a change that stays closer to the MINI's roots, try some Panasports...



Plus, they weigh a lot less than the S-"lites".

 

NO, NO, NO!!!

Peer pressure is VERY real! The wheels are extremely ugly and grossly overweight! They do NOT belong on a MINI. I understand where your teenage friends are coming from!

Tell you what. I will take them off of your hands.

 

How about these:




This is a picture of Smileee's winter rubber complete with a set of baby Moons.

Say what you will we like them and that's all that counts.

Cheers,
Jack

 

Great moons, Jack!

How can anyone give you s**t about stock wheels?!?!? If you put some stupid wheels on, then it's fair game, IMO...
Unless it's a stock set of cheese wheel covers, in which case i'd rather have the steel wheel showing instead...

and if I ever see another post from d6-mcs, it'll be too soon...
