Is everyone happy with their web spokes?

How does everyone like their web spoke wheels? Do you guys have any "clicking" noises from the wheels like some people reported back in 2005? My cooper s is coming in about one month, and I'm wondering if I ordered the right wheel.

I absolutly love mine. No problems what so ever, but I do only have 680 miles! (put on in two and a half weeks)

I've got web spokes on both MCS's and a spare set in the garage just because I like them so much. I really think these are the best looking MINI rims going.

I have them on my silver car, the first set I bought from LOKI here on NAM used to click on the passenger side, then my girlfriend hit a monster pothole and bent the outer lip on both driver side ones, so that set is sitting in my basement. I bought another set on this site and they don't click at all.

Mine click only in the summer when it is very warm. I haven't taken it in for that yet (not warm out now, so it isn't doing it). but I will this summer if they click again.

Racked up 1000 miles and didn't seem to hear anything abnormal, it'd help if someone could post an audio clip of the clicking sound.
I found the web wheels to be hard to clean up though.

I love mine. No clicks yet.
Keep them waxed and they are not that hard to keep clean.

It sounds like a rock is in your tire, but it is the wheels. I don't know exactly what is clicking, but it drives me crazy. It seems to be only the web spokes that do this.

I'd post an audio clip but mine aren't doing it when it is cold. It is really irritating in the summer with the windows down. I envy those of you who have the web spokes and no clicks.

What did the dealer say about the clicking noise. Seems as though it should be something they should address since it sounds like it is not affecting everyone with Webspokes.

I also have webspokes but I just picked up my car last week, so I cant comment on
their reliability yet. If you are forced into the sports package like me, bought the factory
jcw kit, they sure look a lot better than the s-lights and for the $500 additional its worth it to me.

I haven't brought it in for clicking yet - since it isn't actually doing it in this cold weather, I'll wait until it is happening again.

I love the webspokes. I am glad I decided to get them. I had the clicking noise in the warmer weather too.
Maybe this thread will answer some of your questions:

Love my web spokes too. Really wanted a set that the dealer had on display. Think he said they were JCW rims. They were $2800. more though.
The webs do require a little more cleaning, I'm going to try waxing them to see if that helps
I live in Florida, have about 2800 miles and no clicking from wheels.
