I had my heart set on some OZ ultraleggeras, but I ran across these and got put back on the fence. They look great and i think they would go great with my mini (JB/JB), but I can't find a picture of them on a real Mini. I searched all over NAM an Mini2 but haven't found anything. Does anyone have these and can they show me pictures on a Mini? I need something a bit better to go on rather than the tirerack generated image. When i went by that i thought the ultraleggeras looked great, but when i saw them on a picture of a real mini i was slightly turned off from them.

Below are the RFs:



Any pictures of the RFs on a mini would be much appreciated. Even some more of ultraleggeras on a black mini (found enough on other minis) to maybe help on the decision between the RFs or the ultras.

 

This what you are looking for?

Oh yeaaaahhh . perfect! Thanks

I found a mini with RFs on google images but not at a great angle. Still looking some more though.

 

oh how i wish they still made the superleggera

i saw some at last year's MOTD and fell in love, went back home, a month later had picked tires, go to order and find out they are out of production and only 18" are still in stock (i wanted 16")

i never liked the ultraleggeras as much, but i havent seen the RFs on a mini yet

lol this comment helps you about zero

 

I'm was in the same boat. Decided i loved the superleggeras. Saw them at the dragon and had to have them. but when they discontinued them and they went on sale i couldn't afford them becuase i just moved. When I could, they were gone. 1010tires still has a few odd sizes and in odd qty's. Not enough to complete a set. I wouldn't be sitting here today if had been able to pick them up.

The ultraleggera pics above look much better than what i had previously seen, but i think the BBS would be a better look for a Mini. Still wanna see them before I drop the money.

 

i definitely agree with wanting to see them before laying down the cash, i had the same plan, if only i had seen the ultraleggeras a month or two earlier

oh well, atleast i was able to get the rotas in white (i didnt like the look as much but i love the weight), have u thought about want color/finish you want?

 

I'd prefer silver becuase that way the exterior will match the interior as far as black and silver is concerned. I'm going to get an aero kit this fall and have it painted, then let it sit till next spring while the paint has time to cure, so I have to take that into account as far as the look of each wheel. I don't dig black wheels on a black car, and anthracite is hit or miss for me.

I'm going to look at some Rotas this afternoon and see if i can find anything that may fit the bill ( haven't really take a good look at them before)

I think I might just go nuts and get the kosei K1 TS's in orange.

 

that would certainly be interesting

i got my rotas (slipstream in white) from www.18racing.com they have some decent pics on their site
the person that took my order knew all about the mini size requirments so i think they get quite a bit of mini business, which was comforting to me

a black mini with subzero fourth car down www.18racing.com/gallery.html

here are pics of mine (i can't remember if i sent you recent pics or not)

The "formula 1" wheels they have are the look i'd like to go for. Very similar to the BBS CH wheels that I would buy in a instant (if they were in a 4 x 100 bolt pattern!!!!!!). The Circuit 10's look good too, but i still like the ultas and RFs more.

Found these while at work (difficult since alot of websites get blocked)





Look good in motion too!

 

You never sent me recent pictures. Looking good! Mine is still looking the same except with a little more daily driver road rash ...but it's a inch lower now

 

yeah with stock suspension and .6" smaller sidewall i have a little bit of 4x4 look going on , but the lower final gear is addicting

 

I must say that the Koni Yellow and Hsports are working out really well. I don't think the ride is harsh at all, it's just really solid. The roads in warsaw and fortwayne are pretty nasty, but it's not been uncomfortable. If you can I recommend that you pick up a set! If you swing down to warsaw we could have them in by afternoons end

I want to get 17s for summer and show, i'll use my existing 16's for snow, and i'll be picking up some 15's (bbs rg-f's or ssr comps) for go if i continue to go to autocross. I won the STS last week class against some purpose built civics so I think i'll keep it up.

 

mmm rg-fs and ssr comps are tasty, good job in sts , in mich i run in cmt which is pretty similar to sts cept with bmw 3-series and a couple other cars and got 4th out of 17 at my first one (beaten by that bmw3 and two stripped, rollcaged etc neons) without changing tire pressures or a walkaround the course (it was freezing and i got lost on the way there) now the season is starting up again i wanna get an event trophy this year

i really need some more roll stiffness in my car (i dont have the SS+), if i do end up ordering something i will definitely think about holding you to that install help offer (i haven't done spring or shock installs) and you are only one state away
