Breyton Magic Sport

Anyone here have these wheels? From the website (German) it looks like the only MINI offering is the Magic Sport in 18". Breytons are VERY nice. $429 at TireRack

I am seriously considering these wheels. I know they are heavy (around 25lbs), but IMHO they look great. Well built to.

those are nice looking dressup wheels. i did a configurator on tirerack
long time ago and liked how it looked. the spokes cover up the tiny
brake rotors well too.

nothing beats multi-piece wheels when going dressup imho.
(im running 3pc GT3's on my other car which is more of my
touring weekend cruiser... beautiful wheels).

Magics are cool, i considered them but very pricy and could not find a deal anywhere, honestly, did not push it either. I love the way they look though.

IDK, is it a true 2 or 3 piece wheel, or are those exposed bolts just for show?

I like my wheels to look clean, so something like that with exposed bolts, true 2 or 3 piece or not, probably wouldnt fly with me.

It means that the wheel is very over priced for how it is constucted!!! Proably, a great quality wheel, but honestly worth about half it's retail asking price IMO..

They seem very very heavy and that make a big difference on such a small car. Also, they have been out for almost 18 years, so a little dated. My 18x7.5 are 17lbs. Rolling weight is a lot different than static weight

Yea I know what you mean. I still think they look good. I was just searching them and came across this thread. Still shopping around for new ones now. I have a hard time keeping things for to long. Always feel like I have to be changing something up haha.
