It's crap. It's ugly. Why do people do that to their cars?

Just presenting an opposing opinion before someone beats me to it.

J/K. Looks good.

 

Right....and this own likes it

 

Could you post a different picture. I could barely see your wheel.

 

A Little Big?? Hey - beautiful wheels, but I'm one who thinks 17s are pushing it on a Mini

 

Who cares! Do you like it Hamman?
That's all it matters. Personally, I liked the Hamman's you previously owned much more but we know where those ended right!
merry x-mas...sorry I meant happy holidays

 

Merry New Year!

HREs are friggin' sweet, especially those, but they are a bit big. It's just me though: I started out deciding between 18s and 17s when I first had my MINI on order a little over a year ago, then I went to doing 17s, and recently I've decided on 15s for sure, but now I think I'll do 16s. My visual interpretation of the car changes and certain size wheels look really good or totally out of proportion depending on what season it is; what temperature it is outside; what planets are aligned in Orion; what shoes I'm wearing; etc, etc.

So, again, super wheels.

I would say that they are a little small to give an alternate opinion, but I know that 20's don't really fit if you want to actually drive your car. Therefore, I would have to say thay they are great.

Be careful though, if you do something that YOU like that sets you apart from the rest, others here will probably be negative.

Enjoy.

 

The same way you were making fun of 15" wheels. He asked opinions bud.

 

conform or die.

Really, just take it easy. 19s. great, wow. 15s, oooo, ahhh.

Come on.

 

Oh god here we go again. I wasnt being personal towards anyone was I? I was just warning of the negative people who don't like others to be different or "not upholding the tradtional values of the classic Mini blah blah blah." And of course, commence the attack from Vento9, lookin for trouble I guess.


I will repeat, I think the wheels look great! Wahoo 19's!

 

more pictures please!

 

Not attacking, just posting. I like the wheels as well, expensive.

 

I've changed my mind - I'm gonna get some sick dubs with spinners - maybe Sprewells - screw unsprung weight and proportion - Sorry man, your thread has now been officially jacked by the never ending rim diameter debate society

 

I agree with mini552. Hamann, as I see by your signature that you have 9 cars (where do you park them all?), why not get a second set of wheels and put spinners on the MINI? Heck, try some 20's. Or maybe you already have spinners on the Denali? Just swap em out. At least swap them out and take a picture for us. That is an impressive auto list you have: 05 sl500 white, 05 denali xl, 04 e55 tectide gray, 04 g500 sil. I am just a little jealous. By the way, did I mention I like your wheels? Maybe I am partial since I have black 19's as well.

 

I say thumbs up.

 

wait, hold on i must wipe sum of this drool off me chin!!!
the BREMBO'S rock d0oD!! they l00k right at home how long have u run them for ? hows brakin' feel now?
did u go w/an upgrade for the rear?

it l00ks like u have the chrome rings on ur side mirrors, how do they fit w/ur CF caps???
i had a set in spring but left them at sum fools house and they walked out w/a new owner so dont know yet how they fit w/the CF caps

oh, BTW didnt we talk about how controversial ur wheels were goin' to be here on NAM, if its not the norm and it doesn't l00k like what everybody else is doin' then its all wrong wrooonnggg wrooongg wwwwroooonnnngg wrong

 

wow im surprised i got all positive feedbacks cool. okay to answer all questions the painting at the backround is an old print of keith herring and regarding my denali it has a 22" hre 647r (wont fit the mini) regarding the ride i say its ok the wheels are custom made for my mini handles great but a little rubbing in the rear with deep bumps plus toplinemini in burlingame did a good job to make it not rub . and your question joker brembo bbk for the fronts and i just changed the rotor to brembo for the rears sure looked better than the jcw brakes before and it stops and rides like its on rails.. offcourse i did change my entire suspension so far im very happy with my little rocket drives better than my ferrari ........ believe it or not i get more compliments than my gt3 or ferrari . this is such a cool car currently the car is 6 months old and has 1351 miles.

 

Its all wrong ! Conformity! Lemmings follow me!!!

 

I give the combo a 7 . . . 19 inch wheels look a little cartoonish and must be way heavy . . . . I prefer a more open spoke pattern (5 or 6) . . . shows off the Brembos better. IMHO
