Ah, atlast the day has come to get some new tires and I decided to go ahead and get new rims to go with it. I stayed with the 17s and put on a low profile NEXEN LEXANI tire on them. Really awsome, sticks like its a train on tracks.. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? HONEST?

 

Looks great, I'm diggin the tint as well.

I think you missed a few lugs- ( jk)

 

hey me too.

 

You guys should post your pics here!

Really like the spokes! Really like the bright color! Really like the car! Good job! I'm not looking forward to buying new tyres, but I am looking forward to non-run-flats! Nice choice!

 

Hey Guys, I gotta tell ya.....

I like them!!!

 

I am thinking about those OZ's as well when the time comes for tires. Are those the Ultraleggera or the Superleggera? I like how you can get them to match the MINI lug pattern-very clean.

 

They look good, but the rim is on upside down.

 

I like the "reverse tapered" spoke design, for both looks and efficiency (i.e., weight savings). The SSR "GT7" I have are similar, but with 7 instead of 8 spokes which appear "sculpted" into the rim rather than bolted onto it. I think both approaches can look good. Your selection gets an "A" from me.

And because of your pics I will definitely include "Sokudo" brand next time I am shopping for rims. They were previously unknown to me.

 

Its a Bling Bling!
Its Aprub!

 

Googling "Sokudo" I found it is a line of wheels sold by "ADR Design", as opposed to being its "own" brand. Just FYI. They have quite a range of finishes and styles, and most are really good-looking.

No, I don't work for them or anyone affiliated with them.

 

They look great

 

Its not on upside down..... The rims arent spinners, they dont stay in the same spot the whole time. If you want i can scoot forward inches and it will be right side up............. haha

 

those are the superleggeras. i think they discontinued them though.

 

They look great! I went an upgraded mine from 17s to 18 x 7.5 from Nex-O with Yokohamas tires. I didn't like my stock runflats... too harsh of a ride.

 

I can't believe you made me look!!!!!

 

Are you telling us the 18" set up rides better than the RF's do?

 

why did he say my rim was on upside down?????????????????????????????????

 

I like your set up, of course with electric blue and white it's hard to go wrong

I was wondering the same thing. Of course I went down to a 15" rim, so I'm a little extra skeptical about that little amount of side wall on an 18" and not having a harsh ride.

 

yay electric blue! nice!

 

The rims looks great!!!

Looks sharp but I really wish "they'd" make the rims with four lugs for those of us with the four lungs on our MINI. Hmmm, that would be everyone with a MINI, right? I guess it's cost effective for the manufacturer to make the "one wheel fits many" rather than car specific wheels... I'll stop rambling.
Nice wheels.

 

Looks nice!

 

Wooooooshhhhh!

Hehe, nice rims!

 

Sweet
