19" wheels....yes!!

That is very, very nice. I just got my s lowered with H-sports and I promised myself to stick with 17" but now am I just a lagger. I want to keep some semblance of a decent ride.
May the breath of 10 camels be upon you, I am so jealous. I have to be honest here many coopers I have seen on this site just have low-mid quality rims but hre is just top notch (and hey no centering rings needed because they make them to order). Make that 20 camels

>>Those are biiiiiiiiiig!! I know you have the H& Rcoilovers but do the big wheels make a big difference in ride quality?
Of course, there's not much rubber left for cushioning imperfections on the ground at this stage. In my opinion 19's are just too big and heavy for the MINI, but I have to admit, your black MCS looks badass.

IMHO, if you run Hamann's or HRE's ( "heavy" wheels)and people tell you they're boat anchors, they're missing the point. I think they're gorgeous, and if certain situations permit...well, you get the idea...

If the car is a daily driver and you're not doing auto-x, why not go for heavy, stylish wheels? I like the looks of the R90, Breytons, Hamann's and HRE's. Sure, it might be overkill for the MINI, but many of us have gone overboard

So they're $1200 each and heavy? Given that they're very average looking and not styled any differently than many of the five-spokes out there for a fraction of the cost, what makes them worth so much money?

They're expensive because of hype more than anything. Ask some kid who doesn't know any better and he'll tell you HREs are bling bling money aint' a thing badass wheels that are sick style **** dude ha! With that said, they are nice and quality wheels......I myself much prefer FIKSE and Kinesis, but they don't have as many different designs.

Both are beautiful wheels.
Personally... and of course it's JMHO..... I just can't bring my self to be able to justify the price of these wheels on these MINI's ????
$1200 for a rim ($4800) total.... on a car that costs $20-25k.... is a bit too...rich for my taste and just doesn't something I would not be able to justify...
Again... it's just my personal opinion... and it's "what makes for a horse race"... if you've ever heard that statement...:smile:
Peace,

Why are BBS & SSR wheels more $$$ than Konigs or Kosei's?
I guess the forging argument is the only one that gives any clarity on why these are so overpriced.

I can see alot of us don't like the black wheel thing...I guess I am partial to this look. These are my other cars.....M5 and RennTECH CLK60......of course, both have black wheels.
