Hey Guys, I know a lot of people are going to think I'm crazy giving up on my 18" OZ Superleggera's. They came with my car but they are just not my style, I'm a huge fan of the 5 spoke design, I've enclosed pics of the final 3 18"s and would appreciate your feedback, they are all very close in weight so that's not really a deciding factor for me and sometime down the line I'll be selling the OZ's.

#1:




#2:




#3:

 

I like #1. Damn they are nice rims.

 

yikes...I guess if I had to choose I"d pick 3.

 

#3 FTW!

My choice would be #2

 

I like #1 the best. #3 is second.

#1 has a cleaner design and appealing design and will be easier to remove dirt/grime.

#3 has too many center hub holes for a clean look and will be harder to clean along with the small rim bolts. The design on the spokes is more plain which can sometimes be a good thing but for me it's too plain.

Do you have weights and offsets for each?

I never pick a rim only on it's merits- I look for which tires will fit and ask where am I using these wheels- will it be a good match.

 

Wait...you are going from the OZ to those

I guess, #3

 

Hamann PG3's or HM4's like the 3rd picture look pretty sick on Mini's!

 

#3. But it's too bad it has so many lug bolt holes. But I still like it.

 

IMHO, I'd pick #2. I like the rivets and how the spoke looks thick.

 

The reason I liked this one is because of it does look quite similiar to Hamann's, here's another with less holes:

#4:

 

If you like the hamanns i would get the hamanns....these dont really compare very well to them besides being 5 spoke and have fake bolts

 

Too much $$$$$, what can I say I'm a family man, wheels for our second car come very low on the budget priorty list

 

#3

 

#1

 

i'd have to go with number 3

 

I guess I'd go with #3. You might want to look at the TireRack's Sport Edition F7's. They are nice clean 5 spoke design, and inexpensive...but only come in 16 and 17".

 

#1

 

yah, but you have great OZ rims which are pretty high quality. I wouldnt get rid of those in trade for some cheap wheels

 

#3 AKITA means im bord in Japanese. its also a prefecture (city) name.

 

what about tsumandai?

 

Thanks I realize the OZ are high quality but as I said in the first thread they just aren't my style, I've tried to like them, but I'm pursuing a different look and I'd love to be able to replace them with a high quality wheel but I already explained that.

 

I like #3 the best....I'm not a fan of complicated wheels....less complicated compliments the car better...

#2 look like Volk copies...

 

I agree, the #2 look like Volk GT-C which were on my previous car I guess that's why they are in the running but I think they are a little too complicated as you said for such a beautiful car as the Mini!:

So far it looks like #3

 

Of the three, my personal preferrence is #1. The others are just too busy looking.
