I have had these wheels for about 6 months and just got to putting them on today. They are 17x7.5 Binno B-1000 wheels in a bright silver finish. I saw these on a Euro Dark Silver in 18" and absolutely fell in love with them. I see them on my car and I'm not "loving" them. I feel kind of bored or something. I don't know. On a happier note, I have brand new Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S and WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE REGULAR TIRES MAKE! Picture is bad...will take more when it's light out.

 

That's a very classy wheel/car. Nice stuff! Any idea on offset/weight?

Thanks!!! It's a +40 offset. Weight, I can't remember, but I think they are as heavy as the S-Lites

 

Well, if you're not feelin' it then you're not feelin' it. I'd go for something a little racier looking myself, but fwiw, they *are* a nice looking set of wheels and they look good on your car.

 

The wheels you fell in love with were likely 18"s. Aesthetically, they make a big difference:

 

Yes, they were definitely 18s....because the guy I talked to owns the car above.

 

I like the 17's, but those 18's look like they'd break with one hit of a hole in the road. If you drive on real world roads that's something to consider.

 

Their both nice. But those 18s are just SICK.

 

The 17s fit the car better.

I don't think so. To each their own.

 

I agree 100% and that's why I went with the 17s.

To me, I feel like 18s on a MINI are comparable to 24s on an H2....it can look great, but at the same time it doesn't necessarily fit the vehicle. I stuck wit hthe 17s because it's a daily driver for me.

 

Dood...Its cause they look like my Exel's and you were like "Damn, Justin...your car is totally hot and it would make my dream come true if I could be like you."

 

Hey...Watch your racist 18" remarks! Why do you b hatin? You went with 17"'s cause you were skerd! P.S. - I'm gonna have to give you a wedgie next week alond with a knuckle sammich!

 

I'm with WAKE/MCS on this one. I still like the 17's pictured but in that wheel style, they just seem kind of common compared to the picture of the 18's.

 

ugh, I'll probably sell after AMVIV! All other cars I have had the wheel choices have been so easy. This car is so difficult.

 

But I'm sure the 17" Exel's would look like crap, wouldn't they?

 

LMAO. The 18" wheel crowd seems to be growing. This whole 17" wheels over 18" wheels reminds me of the 15% pulley over 19% pulley days...

Although those 17s look nice. The 18s just look amazing... 18s FTW w00t

BTW Justin respond to your PMs.

 

Hey Duck ...I think they look sweet. Wish I could afford a set.

dean.

 

Of course, 17" and 18" preferences are just that: preferences. Personally, I wouldn't buy that wheel style at all, but again, that's just my opinion.

Of course!

 

I got your message but have been crazy busy. We will talk. I posted this in the other thread but I wanna see it again. These are the I-Forged wheels I want on the BMW. Dont know about the Mini yet. I think they are staggered Aero's. But...DPE is close behind.
