I'm thinking about these wheels in 15'' graphite (shown) or silver:



some opinions on these? I searched, didn't come up with much on these so far. I've decided to stick with what I read in the issue of Sport Compact Car about their project Mini and how little wheels look right on a Mini. I've noticed lately that I like how a lot of the smaller wheels look on our cars. Just wanted to get others opinions

 

They look like the classic "Mini-lite" wheels. I think they look great and would be a perfect fit on a MINI

Wheres RALLYMini when you need him? he has these on his car right now!

 

awesome, barely 5 minutes up and two yay's. haha. only question is, being a 15x7 with a 40mm offset, will this fit fine on stock brakes and calipers? And will it work with upgraded powerslot rotors (stock size)

 

I can't say if they will fit, but your powerslot rotors won't make any difference to the fitting.

I'd go with the silver color over the two-tone on an EB MCS since the car is so bright I think the dark centers would not look quite right. . .

On a dark silver the two tone would look awesome. . .

 

that's what I was thinking It was a toss up between these and white Kosei K-1s. I'm thinking these win.

 

I like the styly of the rims, but I am not big on 15"s

 

I thought about the rewinds and opted for Konig Troubles. I got Konig Incidents on the Prius. I like them both. Do a search for konig rewinds and there's a picture on NAM somewhere.

 

They look great. But in a MINI application 40-50mm offset you won't get a
deep dish and lip like in the photo. (If I'm wrong let me know)

 

i had some flat black 15" rotas on for an autocross and a lot of people liked the look on my eb/w. they gave it a meaner look than my normal white wheels. again they were all black so it is a different look than a two tone.

lovin it, thanks for the picture

 

Looks nice! I'd like to see these on a dark silver MCS. Do they come in any sizes larger than 15's?

 

nope, not that I know of.

 

they look great...I love the 15"

Also consider the ASA JH6...another panasport style rim. Mini center caps work with them.

Wonderful, I love the Konig Rewind wheels.

Cheers.

 

I have them on mine for winter wheels. I would take a picture if I could ever get my car to stay clean. My mini is EB B and I got the charcol rewinds. In my opinion they look a little too dark for that combination but not too bad either. I'll do my best to get a pic up soon. I think I'll just take my camera to the carwash next time.

 

hahah here i am....but someone already posted a pic of my car.....

Let me know if anyone wants more. I LOVE the wheel. Wish the lip was a little deeper, but can't complain.

 

DiD sports those on his new MC!

I think they're AWESOME!!!! In fact, I may be getting a set of silvers some day.

 

RallyMINI -

Those look great! I've been keeping my eye out for some black/polished rim 15's for a while, and these are right.

I assume you had to use hub adapters? No clearance issues with 40 offset? Did they come with the center hub?

I'd probably run 205/55's, and based on your experience, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger.

 

Mine.

Tires are 205/55 R15 AVS ES100's. No clearance issues with the 40 offset.

 

I like them. I can't remember what my 5 star's weigh, for comparison.

 

Well, i run even smaller tires with 205/50 and had no problems.

You do need a hub adapter, but those are cheap. I got mine from a miata performance company so the ones they sent were for the miata and not the mini. I just used some spare ones from my old aftermarket rims.

No clearance issues and mine is dropped on H&R's.

For the money, they are a great wheel.

 

some pics for persuasion

 

I also love the Rewinds. Is anybody running a 225/50 on them? I did the calculations and the 40mm offset pushes them out enough to clear the struts on the inside but will they clear the fender?
