As for what is so special about them, I won't try to explain but will give you a link where you can download and read some material.

Kosei 16" with Hankook 212
Sticky tires, will be the next Azenis. I am in second place in HS out of 10 cars, mine and one other car on streets, others on r compound. Kosei wheels are light.[img]null[/img]

thanks for the info., there is a reason why they are expensive. But again, too much, you are right, there is more different ways to spend money on the Mini.

i just swapped to new wheels a few days ago... i was hoping to wait until i mount my wilwood on, but i couldnt wait...
Before:
They were Motegi FF6 17x7 in silver with polish lip.... mounted on severely punished Bridgestone RE750 215/45... lowered with Eibach springs.. no rubbing
Now:
new Rota Subzeros 17x7.5 in Royal Black, mounted on Kumho ECSTA SPT 215/45, there's rubbing at the back when the car's loaded, ill have studs in black too... im taking out the center caps and putting on some brake paint so it looks like as if i got custom CP035s! just imagine next week i should have wilwood 12.2 street kit behind these
yep... a winter project...

they were sparco knockoffs, from SPW... they cost me locally 900 bucks... so convert that from canadian dollars to US and you'd get the cost

I got them off e-bay. However, Rota is coming out with a copy of this wheel as well (Rota D2). Do a google search on SSR professor or Rota D2 and you may find what you are looking for.
