How does the hyper black look on dark silver/black roof?
Can't decide if dark silver or hyper black would get the look im after.
I have R90 17" Factory MINI anthracite

The Hyper Black is very neutral, so it's going to look very good on almost any color. Gunmetal is an excellent match for Dark Silver as well, though.

Yes.

I often run Sumitomo tires -- HTR Z-III in summer, HTR-4 in winter. 235/40R17 gives a good amount of sidewall and is nice and plump to protect your wheels.

and do you have all the wheels you offer on a site somewhere i could see them?
Click on my signature.

lastly do you do a package price wheels tires install balance alignment? thanks
Yes. we do packages for local customers, although we generally do not ship mounted wheels/tires.

Note that alignment is not required when you swap wheels and tires, although if you think yours is out of whack we're happy to align the car. Give us a call to talk about packages. There are too many variables to go over in this thread.

ok thanks will get in touch with you-the car i way out of alignment--or at least it always pulls to right--took it to dealer prior to moving to falls church--they said i had at least one bent rim-and very poor quality tires and they could not align the car---said to replace all. i wont drive the car much in winter-have another car-so likely looking for an all season suggestion. thanks and will look at your site for wheel alternatives

I have decided that I will be purchasing the 17 inch Rota RB's. I just can't decide on the color. Do the 17 inch RB's come in Hyper Black? Does anyone have a photo of a dark grey mini with the Silver RB's that they could post?
Thanks

Yes, black Rota MC is in stock. I'd run a 225/35R18 on it.

With some advance notice, I can get a mechanic to come in on the weekend to do that. But you can't just drop in on a Saturday; you'll need an appointment. Give us a call to make some arrangements. (571) 434-8333.

Yes. There are pictures of that just above you in this post.

Hyper Black is out of stock right now, though. Silver is available.

ok thanks--last question-do they make the MC in 17s. with all the pot holes around here was thinking i need more rubber--but i have 215-35r18s on the car now--so the 225 would be a bit more rubber i assume? and could you drop me an email on a package price on these rims, tires, balance and i assume align? email is waltermb@yahoo.com

Does anyone have pictures of 17 inch silver rb's?

The other question I have is 205 45r17 or 215 45r17 tires. What are the pros and cons of each?

Correct me if I'm wrong (Dan) but I don't think they do. At the moment, they only come in 18x8. If your R53 is lowered, I'd go no wider than 215 -- but you could consider a higher profile like 205/40 or 215/40.

In the meantime, I'm sure you're tired of being asked, but: Dan, Any news on the availability of the MCs in Silver?!?


Thanks.

Sorry, they're not available in 17" at this time.

A 225/35R18 would probably fit.

Sorry, nothing yet.

Dan,

Looking to run in STX for autocross in an '09 JCW. I am looking for 17x8 wheels. Do you have anything? If not, which 7.5s will fit over the JCW brakes. Obviously, the lighter the wheel, the better.

Thanks.

Rota lists a lot of 16 x 6.5 wheels that would appear to be legal in HS Solo2. Are any actually available?

Any pics of the MC in silver and hyperblack on a Dark Silver car?

Thinking about maybe getting a set of wheels and wondering what the hyperblack would look like. Really no clue as to when you'll have some silver ones in stock?

7.5"-wide wheels are going to be lighter than 8" wheels. We can special-order the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 in 8", but I don't stock it. Rota doesn't make any 17x8 MINI-fit wheels.

Not at this time, and I don't imagine they will be. 16x7 is much more popular. But if you can get a half-dozen people together that will pay for them, I can get some made.
