Help Me Pick My New Wheels
Ahhhh just what everyone wanted another help me pick my new wheels thread,
but mama needs a new pair of shoes
Seriously though, one of my wheels has been permanently marred by brake dust. It is major damage & would require professional help to get it fixed so I am using that as an excuse to get new wheels which I have always wanted anyway.
I have narrowed it down to 5 choices. I want black with a machined lip. If you don't like that color I appreciate you but that is what I want They are listed in order of my preference but I am still a bit wishy washy so I would appreciate anything that would help push me over the edge & pick one. Thanking you in advance for you opinions (I think )
#1 & my fav thus far... Tenzo Dc-5 Version 2 ($750 delivered/set)
in 2nd place... Tenzo GF7 ($750)
in 3rd place... Tenzo Mean 6 ($750)
running 4th is Rota Subzero ($600)
& running a distant 5th but they are really a low price which scares me & makes me wonder why they are so cheap ...
Sport Max 941 ($500)

I am really torn between 1 & 2. If #1 had the machined silver a bit deeper into the outer part of the wheel like #2 does it would be a slam dunk for #1.

You have great taste, Teresa ! I like all those wheels.
But I'd have to rate your number one choice as my favorites, too. Those not only look great, but don't appear to be too difficult to keep clean (a high priority, IMO).
My second favorite wheel is the one you have listed as number 4, the Rota, Subzeroes.
Happy Shopping ! And may you and and your MINI wear them in good health.

Well I am glad you guys are likin #1 as much as I am Now if I can just get the brake problem that ruined my wheel resolved in time so that I can get new wheels delivered & installed before I leave for the dragon
While I do really like the black my #1 thought was that they would look clean for sooooo much longer.
I am very glad that you approve of my choices CR/PW because I would not want to do anything to jeopardize my standing as your most favorite CR Cabrio

I really do like that wheel but... I swear about 1 of every 4 MINIS I see have a wheel very similar to that design (in various finishes) & I like to be a bit different so that is the only reason it isn't on my short list

The Tenzo D-5's are 17X7 & weight in at 19LBS. Isn't that about the same weight as my OEM Bullet Cabrio wheels? I hope so, I am not looking to race or anything but I don't want ot go heavier
(All the wheels in my post are either 17X7 or 17X7.5)

I am on it I have got to get the brake issue that ruined my current wheel resolved 1st & then I am ordering them. Hopefully I can get this all done in under 15 days I will definitely post pics when I get them. hopefully some can see them in person on the twisties at the dragon
Ok now I do have a high felootin college diploma, but what in the hail is hexagonal symmetry? Would #2 & #3 have hexagonal symmetry quit using so many big words it makes my head hurt

edit: I found the offset, it is 42. Is that OK with 215/45/17 tires?
OK I think my mind is made up. It's wheel #1 for sure. Now if I can just get my brake problem solved in time to get the new wheels put on before the dragon I will be so so happy
Thank you guys for all your help
