When I bought my Cooper indy blue and white, I ordered it with silver "holie" wheels. This spring, my friend was selling a set of white holies for dirt cheap, so I bought them. I thought they would look a little "femmy" (think New Beetle with Flower wheels ) but that's not the case at all. I think the car looks great with the white wheels. I don't have any pics of it with the white wheels on.

I do have some with my gunmetal SSR Comps, and the silver holies, though

 

I'm thinking this is Ryphyles MINI and I have those wheels on my MCS now.

While he has the same only in 18 inch now.

Awesome, don't you think?

 

Besides my summer whites (S lites with Eufori@s) I have my winter shoes, Kosei K-1's in 16" with Pirelli Snow Sports

 

It is his car. Good stuff

 

Bill your car looks cool with those LT5's :D

 

Thanks,

As does yours,

Bill

 

17 inch Exel TZ-10s

 

Wow, those look sweet, Mike! Are you considering springs yet? I just had the HSport springs put on along with the RSpeed 22mm rear sway set on the middle setting and the setup has exceeded my expectations and more. The ride is SO much smoother when you're just driving, and the balance is PERFECT in aggressive cornering. And it NEVER feels like the back would come around (yet) with the driving I've done so far. PLUS, the drop is JUST RIGHT. I've seen the M7s and the H&Rs but they're just a bit too much. This drops the rear to a hair below the wheel arch and the front looks, well, great. I'm completely satisfied with both mods. Highly recommended.


As for those tz-10s, I was looking at those in either 17 or 18s, or the Branzach bz-12s in either 17 or 18s, in white. NOW, I can see EXACTLY what my car will look like with them. THANKS MIKE!

If anyone else would like to show off their white wheeled beauties, well let's have it!

Thanks everyone.:smile:

@ Electron_Mike or anyone else with TZ-10s

I've been considering the same wheels... they just look so "right" for the car. Did you have to get replacement lug bolts or convert to lug nuts for the wheels or do the stock bolts work/look just fine?

Thanks :smile:

 

why ruin such nice wheels for the winter, id run the s lites in the winter before the kosei's

 

I had to convert to lug nuts and studs.The stock bolts are too large to fit in the holes on the wheels. So far I've had no problems with the conversion.

 

My white holies

 

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for all the following questions but... Did you weigh them before mounting? I seem to recall they're about 17lbs for the 17". Which lug set did you go with? The one from Pilo Racing? I forgot to ask if you needed spacers and did the wheels include hubcentric rings? If so were they plastic or aluminum? I think that should just about do it!

I see WheelMax has them backordered again...

Thanks

 

I didn't get the chance to weigh them because I was at school when they got mounted. I got the lugs from a local shop, which appeared to be of good quality. No spacers are required, and while the wheels do not include hub-centric rings, they come with a little paper telling you where you can get a set of plastic ones for 40 bucks. (www.justforwheels.com) I went with aluminum ones from www.discounttiredirect.com for 15 dollars As for the size, Exel wheels have a centerbore diameter of 73.1 mm, and a Mini's hub is 56.1 mm.

 

I opted for the 18" White TZ-10s. I went with the stud/lug nut option only because I had too for the lug nut clearance. PH for more info on where to get the studs and nuts.

can you show me more pic of your wheels....
and can you tell me where you buy them????
I am actually looking for something like that....

 

Well, I'm still split on wheels... I would like to do white, and the tz-10 in 17" are on backorder from www.wheelmax.com, but my new front runner is the Branzach BZ-12-








I tried to get weights and details from the maufacturer, and they told me the BZ-12 is discontinued! Wheelmax has some left in stock and I think I need to move quickly. What does everyone think? MINI enough?

 

Not REALLY my style, but they look good - I think they're more than 'MINI enough' - but what REALLY matters - what do YOU think? Do YOU like 'em??

 

Hard to tell, but my MCS is running 'confused'.... Silvers in the front, Whites in the rear, mixed center caps.

 

I wouldn't trade for the look that white wheels provide.

last time i went to a store that sell these wheels.... I asked for white wheels ...and the sales person said that white wheels are not trendy anymore....

But anyways... it might be out dated for the other cars...but to mini, I think white wheels look great....especially yours wif white roof...

 

Dang - and I had just ordered some white steel wagon wheels (complete with the red and blue pinstripes) for my MINI. . .
