OZ Superturismo?

I am curious to see if anyone has the OZ Superturismo on their MINI?

For the longest time I was trying to find a set of these Japan exclusive and discountinued in 2004 OZ Superturismo Evolution.

Unfortunately they are no where to be found anymore...

I just replaced my OE 16" R84 wheels with 17" ASA AR1's and 205/45-17 Continental ContiSport Contact 2 tires. Wow, way more grip with the ContiSports that with the Dunlop DSST all season run-flats! No more howling tires on tight corners. There is also a significant improvement in the ride quality compared to the run-flats, especially noticable over small bumps and rough pavement which were jarring with the Dunlop run-flats.





Now I'm gonna put winter tires on the OE wheels because I've tried driving in the winter with summer tires before. They get about as much traction on ice as a hockey puck.

You've got a "red accents" thing going on w/ the new wheels... almost like you did it on purpose! "Good Show! Carry On!"

Those rims look so hot on yourcar. Are these rims the MINI rims that can be purchased through the dealerships?

Custom 17" chrome wheels for my '06 MCS?

Hi ~

I too am looking for custom 17" wheels for my MCS. What did you end up getting? I know I want chrome (I have the chrome exterior pkg), but not too sure if I want a 5 or 6 spoke style. Have any ideas or suggestions?

Do they have wheels in chrome available like the ones you have on your Mini? I like the design of wheel you picked.
