England Male View SteveM3's Spice Orange & Body Color 2nd Gen MINI Cooper S Profile
anorak at the NEC.

Well I spent a pleasant few hours at the NEC's Autosport International
show looking over cars, engines, gearboxes, wheels and tyres. There
was also a disappointing trend to use the female form to attract the
mainly male crowd to certain stands. In fact I had to go back to some
stands just to make sure it was exploitation. I went with a short list of
wheels to chose from but the show didn't help. The Arospeed Riot and
RS-GT didn't look so good up close so I have dropped those from my list.
The Konig Holes wasn't there so this the OZ Superleggera and BBS RC
stay on my list. I've added the BK 299 and the FOX RS-3 which both
look superb up close. So good news 2 of the best looking are reasonably
priced, the bad news is my short list is the same length as when I went!
So as the BK and FOX look gorgeous in the flesh, or should that be in
the alloy, and aren't expensive I assume they will weigh a ton. Despite
searching here and the wider web I can't find weights. Can anyone
help me here

I was also amused to see most so called prestigious wheels are ugly
wheels covered in an inch thick layer of chrome. They must sell or firms
would go broke so they float someones boat but it sure aint mine. The
wheels that did look worthy of lots of dosh was Kinesis. They do look
a classy effective wheel so when I win the lottery lads.

I'll add the usual disclaimer that these are just my opinions. Just
because you hate the wheels I like and love the wheels I hate
doesn't mean we can't get along. Any help with the weights appreciated.
