That's about $1400 before shipping and you get 225/40/18 tires.The wheels weigh 20lbs without the tires.

14.6 pounds?!??! Wow. They do look a bit like 16's in the black, though - at least in the pics.. sorry... but for that low weight in 17's? Great tradeoff, good choice, and the black looks really good on CR. How are the F1 A/S tires? They're supposed to be the cat's meow...

Thanks guys. These wheels do seem to have more of a 16" look to em' but I'm pretty much thrilled about the way they look. I think they compliment my blackout rather well. I don't have a lot of miles on the F1's yet, but so far I'm happy with these. The ride quality/road noise is very similar to the 16" conti runflats. for some that might not be a good thing, but I don't want a tire with a softer sidewall. Now I'm in need of some suspension work. A set of Alta PSRS's are very high on my list as well as deciding between coilovers, JCW or lowering springs.

New wheels for the wife's new Clubman. 17x7 Arospeed (sic). Hyper-black finish with a set of 215/45-17 Kuhmos. it's a nice improvement from the stock 15s.







Regards,
Terry

as PGT said, they dont' cost that much. costly but no where close to your numbers, maybe with some fancy tires.

i say get it, i enjoy every minute of ownership!

I've always thought so, too, because of how thick the outer rim section is compared to other wheels. The black looks killer and that weight is awesome.

Exel TZ-10 in 18x7.5 I assume! One of the best looking wheels in my opinion. 10 spoked wheels just look incredible on the Mini.

HRE's are that expensive. I had a 17" Work VS-XX set like that which jerjer has....that's what we're talking about. I think I paid $2k for them. The HRE's....well, new, they are A LOT more. I got mine second-hand
