BEARS! (no, no, not the wheels - LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!)

I don't know, I'm thinking ASAs and take the $240 you'd save and put it toward something nice for that guy who complains about minis - ought to change his opinion!

You can't go wrong with either one. Both are lighter than stock, both are from reputable manufacturers, both are a BEAR (there's that word again) to clean brake dust from - so go to Target/WalMart and grab one of those soft skinny wheel cleaning brushes - they help a lot!

You'll love the combination, that's a nice tire and with either of those wheels you will feel a nice difference. Heck, buy two of each and put 'em on opposite sides of the car...

ASA EM9 looks betterto me and the OZ looks spidery and flimsy. It's a matter of taste, isn't it?

OZ is the classier wheel, no doubt, but as in the first post I believe price was a big factor.

The ASA's look a little cheesy to me, but it always looks different on the car ayway, so...

ASA

Appears more brake friendly.
And costs less. Won't cry so much when you scrape it.

HAHA - check the newest post - "Last poll, I promise" The jury is still out...

Oh, and you bet I will post pics. The MINI is getting an overhaul this spring. Fixing a major door ding

and fixing a hole in the bumper cover and filling in a lot of paint chips. Then some claybarring, some polishing, some detailing, some waxing, and then I will post pix...
