My OEM wheels which I am currently using for summer until my OEM tires wear out are 16" 6-Star Twin Spoke Black. Does anybody have any idea what these weigh? My winter wheels are 16" ASA AR1 from Tire Rack and weigh 18.6 lbs. I was wondering how this weight compares to my OEM wheels. I am considering ASA AR1 17" wheels for summer and they weigh 20.7 lbs and was also wondering if this is an increase over the OEM and how much.

Bent two of my stock rims. Needeed an excuse to get white wheels anyway. Wish the spokes were a bit thicker.

Na they look good the way they are. I think if the spokes were thicker they look too much like stock wheels.

As much as i liked the Infinite Stream rims...


These were always in the plan (17x7, 42ET White OZ Leggendas). Love it...






Now to sell the stockers, no need to keep them as this car doesn't need a 2nd set...

This is after a very dirty / salty drive from New Hampshire to Connecticut, so don't mind the filthy car. My buddy Shawn took the pic.

I couldn't resist the urge any longer and splurged on a set of OZ Wave 17s for Ruffian. Love these wheels!

^^^ Nothing like a new set of wheels that you've been drooling over. Good looking wheels and nice shots of the MINI.

You got it - I had the same kind of excitement finding & buying the wheels as I did when I found Ruffian.

Appreciate the comments! She needs a good coat of wax before summer and maybe some more glamour shots. Still learning to use my camera but I love trying find interesting spots to take pics, and a MINI is a great subject
