New shoes! Daring to be different.

Hey guys, I know many are going to think I'm crazy changing out my 18" OZ superlegerras, but I really wanted something different, more aggressive, yet easy to clean as we get a lot of rain here, so I hope you like. They are Tenzo Racing Apex 18"X7.5" 42mm offset, they are heavier than the OZ's but lighter than S Lites and I don't track so it really isn't a big deal to me:











Added "S" caps!

You could put Fred Flintstone's wheels on that MINI and it would still look incredibly gorgeous. (five nods, that's my personal limit)

those tenzo's are one piece right? and your car's a commuter?
then that's better. it's much easier to clean!

Generally, I'm no fan of 17's or in your case 18's. However, your MINI is damned sweet... They look great--better than OZ

my apologies, not my intension, didn't realize caps lock translated to shouting, as a matter of fact I expected to get flamed, I agree the OZ are great wheels but just not my taste, I appreciate the input, thanks
