Nittany's new shoes
#1
Picked up my new wheels last night and couldn't resist. I had the shop put them on. I was going to wait til after winter but I just couldn't. Actually I'll be putting my winter wheels back on this weekend, just wanted to try out the new ones.
They are Panasports for those who don't know. They aren't the lightest wheels on the market which wasn't really a huge concern of mine. But they are the most like the wheels on the old classics and that's what I was going for.
Still a couple more months 'til I can put them on and leave them on for the spring/summer/fall.

>> I'm not sure if the winter wheels are so much for snow or just for dealing with the enormous potholes that develop EVERYWHERE this time of year. Don't want to ruin my shiny new Panasports on one of those nasty things.
I know what you mean! I don't know where you are in Jersey, but if the potholes are as bad as NYC, you might have to keep the winter shoes on your MINI all year round.

I like the old school look, JereseyGirl. Excellent choice. I have to say that I admire your going for a "look" as opposed to getting the lightest wheel you could find. nice take on MINI modding.
What size are they? They look like they're only 15" but that might be an optical illusion.

Thanks! They are 16" but I see what you mean. They do look smaller in that picture. :???:
I've never been into buying wheels for cars (in fact, I've NEVER bought any before), but in this case I felt it was worth it to get a more traditional look. That, and those 17" S-lites with runflats caused me to actually pull a few muscles when I tried to load them in the car to sell them. Took a week before I could turn my head to the left again. The thought of lugging those things up into my garage attic for the winter every year made me want to cry.

Hey Jerseygirl,
Oh yeah, I remember now that you were trying to get the Goodyear Eagle F1 G3-D3 in a 205/50/16, but they don't make that size. You had said they are going to. I like the Goodyear too, and hopefully they will have it out when I will need to replace my stock 15 all seasons -- I'll wait til next year. Dunlops are a good tire I've heard. I remember many years ago (30) when I had several motorcycles, that we liked Continentals and Dunlops.
