Anyone know what the Hamann rims weigh in at? The ones that are on their project MCS. Also what they're priced out at? Or any contacts to dealers or private sales of them?
I'm looking for some deep dish type rims that not only fit the MINI without adapters, but aren't that heavy. Is this going to be a hard search?
Thanx in advance for any help,
Cheers,

I emailed Wheel Experts about the Hamann HM4 (5 spoke) a while back and they said they weigh about 20 lbs each, and cost $340 each for the 17".

Thanx wkndracr. Right off the bat, I can't remember what the stock X-lite 16" MINI wheels weight is. Any idea if they have the Hamann wheels in a 16"?
Tried the Wheel Expert site, but there's not a whole lot of info.
Any adapters needed?
Trying for a North American distributer that has info on it. Any further site suggestions?
Cheers,

I found a style of wheel that I would like to get more info on. Found it on a TrieRack advertisement page in European Car. They're the 16" AT ITALIA WIND wheel. Wonder if they'd fit on my MCS. If so, what's the weight and cost involved? There's only a couple of the AT ITALIA's on the TireRack website, and these aren't on there.
I'd like to find something that has an inset design. Like a deep dish style.
Thanx for any help you may be able to offer,
Cheers,

At italia Wind in not available in a 4 lug configuration, because of the offsets needed on the MC, its very hard to find deep dish looks

Does anyone have a list of deep dish wheels (pref 17's or 18's) that will fit on the MC?

Thanks!

I saw on MINI2 where Hamman has a new body kit out and wheels for the cooper in white, black and silver. For the life of me I can not find this thread now. If anyone has the pictures please post them as i love the wheels. If anyone knows price please let me know also.

okeeee i'll settle down now!
i was quoted by bavarian for the black schnitzers $509 a piece!
mad expensive! schnitzer will paint the wheels any standard mini color at factory for this price though!
i'm not too sure about pepper white wheels for me, i'd really prefer black!

someone can ask NFO, but I was talking to someone a few weeks ago with those 17"s on his car and they're 21 lbs each and he got 'em for $360/wheel.
