Sold the Superleggerra's, and Added BBS style ASA AR1's, What do you think?

Well after finally going the direction I knew I should have, I added the ASA AR1's to the MINI, as I just wasnt fond of the color of the O.Z.'s, which threw off the look of the car. I like the look of the R90's but didnt want to pay the $$ when I knew something very similar was out there for my everyday wheels.
H&R Coilover's will be on this week.

Old thread with the OZ's:

Beautiful! Good choice with this color combination. (Your neighbors have some BIG vehicles.) Happy motoring on a sunny weekend.

Sry about this but... how do you like your split window tint (not having it in the front) My state won't allow the tint in the front so I was just checking to see how you liked it?

BTW very nice!

The lighter color definitely looks better with your car.

The look of the R90s without the cost.

sorry, I liked the look & color of the O.Z.'s (much) better... but this shouldn't be about what we like, as long as you are happy

The wheels look great. How much do they weigh?

20.3 lbs I believe, which isnt bad, better than the S-Lites with Runflats by far, but not as good as the 16 lbs OZ's. Thanks for the props, I feel better with the look of them, and am going into the garage to install the coilovers, crossing my fingers...

Exhausted.... pics will be uploaded in a couple of hours. I have some massively slammed pics, and then some still too low pics but going to leave it for right now. I also put on the Alta Rear Lower Control arms as well.

No offence, but i agree. The OZ's where much more original, the new wheels look like every other wheel i see on a MINI.

But hey, your car, hope you like them!

They're definitely a good looking wheel though. Shame about the backorder...

I used to have 18in Anthracite SuperL's on my SVT Focus, i loved those wheels.
