pics with hyper black wheels anyone?
Hey guys and gals.. I just ordered my Black MCS last week so im lookin for some new shoes for my car.. i found a deal on these rims
http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?i...2D+Hyper+Black
but I do not know how they would look on a Black Mini.. does anyone have pics of a MCS with these wheels.. or even Hyper black wheels?? (prefferably all Astro black minis) I haven't even received my car yet.. but im anxious to get her some new shoes.. also does anyone know if these rims will even fit my mini? specs are : 17X7 4lug .. I want to use the rubber and tire pressure monitor that come with the stock wheels on these rims.. think it will work??

Here you go!
With the stock centercaps
Custom MINI centercaps
The wheels are PIAA Sport Mesh, 17 x 7 and the hyper black finish. I got them through my buddy at Discount Tire, special order but that wasn't a problem at all. They listed for $239.00 per, but I paid $220.00 because of the amount of tires/wheels I've bought through him over the past 10 years or so. IMO these wheels will look great on your Astro Black R56

Since your MINI will be new you will have stock brakes, BUT if you are considering any future mods such as BIG brakes make sure the wheels will fit over them. You should check with the wheel manufacturer and they can tell you. Ask about the "offset" as well and will you need any spacers. All of these questions are easy to ask and easy to answer. If they don't know, check elsewhere, they should. I run Brembo 320 mm rotors and this limits the wheels that I can use.
Are you looking for gloss black or matt black wheels? Team Dynamic Pro Race 1 wheels are totally black and have a matt finish. I have these (you can check my gallery). I just bought some PIAA wheels (FR-7). The have the high gloss black center and chrome outer rim. I like them both.

I think im gonna go for a gun metal, or steel grey look.. Im not too fond of the shiny black look.. but i think the matte black would look better.. so I have somewhat decided on rim color, now i need to find a pattern i like.. the Exel TZ-10 in Hyperblack are starting too look good.. As for big brake kit.. I don't think i will be putting a kit in anytime.. when i test drove the mini the stock brakes amazed me.. i guess many go for the big brake kit cause it looks soo much better with a nice set a wheels..
Would u know if my stock rubbers would fit on any set of rims that are 17x7?? btw my stock wheels will be 17" but I do not know their dimensions.. also is the tire pressure monitor transferable to new wheels??

The matte black finish looks great!
The big brakes offer more than just looks. The better your MINI stops, the faster you can go in the first place.
I think the stock rubbers would fit, BUT this is a question for the MINI dealer and your tire & wheel supplier. BE SURE! There are alot of people that will tell you things will fit and workm until you try to install them. Look before you leap

The MINI flat tire warning does not have have a tire pressure monitor. The is part of the ABS system and simply measures the wheel rotation. Flat tire = smaller circumference, one wheel spins faster than the others. It works with any set of wheels you put on the car.

Yes and FWIW I'm glad I did because these tires are NOT as bad as some would have you believe, save your money and run they till they need to be replaced and THEN, get something else to replace them, hell, it might be another set of run-flats, who knows
