Wheel weight is around 20lbs.

They can be found on tirerack, but they do not show up on the MINI fitment, since the offset is 37et.
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...t+Silver+Paint

I was also told that they are discountinued, not sure if thats true, but i like the rare factor of them

Here's a site that sells them for $289 a piece:

Okay, so those look better on the car than off...even though I'm still mad at OZ for discontinuing their Superleggeras and only offering the Ultras...

Me too, but glad I nabbed a set of SLs. A classic wheel, imo.

I agree. I had the Superleggeras on my GTI and really liked them. The Ultra's are growing on me though.

Hi there Kyriian, nice looking setup for the track Do you get even more ballastic bottom end with this setup? I am running 205/50 for the track and even that, it feels sweet. How do you feel with this tyre size?

The RGRs are really sweet, still my fav. There are a lot of look-a-likes out there but I haven't found any to match their weight savings. I guess you get what you pay for. Your ALTA springs look perfect also. I looked at Altas web sight the other day but didn't see them. Does anyone know if they still carry them?
