Hamman -VS- Rewinds - Photos

So I changed out my 17" Hammans for a set of 15" Rewinds today and I am pretty happy. The ride quality is much better but I am going to miss the look of the Hammans.

What a shame!

Whatever floats your boat. I'm sure many will like the swap. Did you sell your Hamann's?

I'm just glad they don't come in 17s. I'd had to get me some, and justifying that to the wife would be tricky.
"But they look almost exactly like the wheels on the classic!"
"So? How much do they cost? Would you sell the wheels you have now?"

Love the look of the Rewinds

and I too am not too happy with the ride on 17's. Who makes the Rewind wheel? I'm going to switch too.

Hamman are awesome wheels!!

Those Rewinds looks nice too, but can't compare to Hamman.

IMO

They look nice, but not as nice as Hamman wheels.

But I really think these Rweinds wheels should only be sold to MINI owners... It would look odd on other cars...

I love it, like the dark color with the red! BTW, I have rewinds too. :D

Those tires look like Toyo, Proxy 4's, maybe?

Cheers

I like the Hamman's, just not on a MINI, they look out of place. The Rewinds on your ride look natural.
