OK, ok, don't encourage it. We each have our own likes.

I like white wheels, I like my 16s in gunmetal. I like my silver Challenge wheels.

White looks good with DS, CR and many others, just not for me.

Picture of my R56 with the 16s in GM.



Another with the Challenge wheels.



Each have their own purpose.

Now back to pictures of wheels, please!

are you calling me stupid? it's a wonder how I could get hired on anywhere, what with a low IQ and a recession on.

and I caused your outburst too, eh? we call that projection and it has nothing to do with me. And no, you can't ignore me. You are too insecure to do that.

 

Panda's any1?

 

Can I play?

 

rims were originally white. IMO, white rims don't really match black roofs so i had it painted magnesium blue which was the color of my previous set of rims below

 

Hey, oxy...

 

Nice wheels everyone... Do those Panda's fit on the R56, I could do that for a couple of our fall MINI5280 drives.

 

I'll match your panda's and raise you a set of daisies!
These would look so sweet on a liquid yellow MC!

 

mini macky, love your TE37s, what are those new wheels you have?

also love the mag-blue finish on your blue car :up:

 

Are those O.Z.'s? - they look great

 

Yup, in 18's. I have another identical set (except in 17's) that weigh 14.2 lbs each.

Here's a better view.

 

I never said anyone made a poor wheel choice.

Someone was looking opinions on rims, voiced a concern about a particular rim because it was white, and I mentioned that it comes in other colors and that I'm not a fan of white wheels. I'm not debating your choice of wheel, I'm merely giving my opinion to the person who asked for it. If that sounds foolish to you, then great, that's your opinion. I'm merely giving mine.

And to the person who asked about putting 18's on a MINI, I think they go great on an R56 as long as it is lowered, but they're a bit too big on R53s.

 

You said a lot more than that... but I'll let it die for the sake of the thread.

 

Please, This is an awesome thread with so many posts, and over 1 million views. I don't want to lock it up... Please

Hey Alex... maybe you should have told me before I bought those white wheels from your company that I should have better things to do with my time than clean my wheels constantly.


Damn you !!!!

 

the nice thing about inexpensive wheels is that they're easily replaced when they stop looking nice

 

Inexpensive wheels can't stop looking nice....






....because they never started looking nice.

After many days, I got tired of hearing my wife telling me to just buy something. So I ordered the 17" Koing Feathers (silver) instead of the Bumps. I liked the clean, sporty look. The 17% off sale this weekend at Alta was too good to pass up. I will post a picture when I get them on.

 

 

Alex,

Is there any benefit to you or I by ordering from you as opposed to me ordering a set of tires from a supplier that is buying them directly from Tire Rack?

A company I deal with very frequently always sells me my tires at their cost. If YOU get some sort of bonus or something, then I'd order them from you. If it doesn't matter, I'll just order them locally.

Thanks,

Mark

 

whats up with anodizing wheels... is it expensive? can you do any color?

 

the TE37s ARE my new rims the old rims are the Real Racing Model II (multi-spoke, also in magnesium blue)

 

well the TE37 are off the hook, great choice

 

I have been playing with the idea of anodizing my wheels for awhile now. From my understanding silver and black are the most common and most durable colors, but a large variety of colors are available. It's on par with chroming price wise I think, maybe slightly less expensive.
