Rota Sub-Zero vs. Konig Rewind

I would appreciate some opinions (I know everyone has one ) As the title indicates, I'm debating between going with a set of Rota Sub-Zero (16x7) or Konig Rewind (15x7).

I think the Rewind's have a really cool retro look and think the bronze would look good with HB/W. Here's a link to the Rewinds in bronze with 60 series tires.

I also really like the Sub-Zero's. I would definitely want them with a polished lip, although I settle on what finish...bronze, steel grey, gunmetal, silver. Here's a set of 18's in "Royal Gunmetal."

BTW, if you have some pics to support your opinion, please post or include a link.

TIA

Can't stand the Rewinds to be honest with you. I like the Sub-Zero's, but you're looking at a big appearance difference I would thikn between the 18" you showed and the 16" that you want. I'd still say pick the Sub-Zero!

In my opinion the 15s look too small, and 16s have a better tire selection. 17s look great, but I'd like to stay away from 40/45 series tires. I have 40s on my V8 Miata, and I know there's a pothole out there, somewhere, just waiting for me. Can't go wrong with the 16 inch Subzeros, or (my favorite) 16 inch Enkei RP F1s.

I think the subzero fits the style of your MINI better than the Rewinds.

No question. The sub zeros fit the bill best...

Neither one fits as well as a white wheel to match your top. the grafite matches a little better however on the konig

I LOVE THE REWINDS! But then again, I love the classic look:

Here are some pics on a HB:


And finally, the best sell of the Rewinds. Dave's MINI:
