I am defiently having a lot of trouble picking between 2 wheel choices. It's down to these. ASA AR1's,18's (top) or Sport Edition Fox 2, 18's (bottom).

Grand Total: $1,162.00 for the Sport Edition Fox 2 (Bottom Wheels) and $100 tires mounted and balanced.
Grand Total: $1,335.40 for the ASA (Top Wheels) and $100 tires mounted and balanced.

I love the look of both of them, but i just cant choose, as you can see, its simply a $200 difference between the 2 so im not worried.

HELP!!!

Hi Scott (welcome!)
I like the look of the top ones best (ASA AR1s) in fact I really like them a lot, but see they are similar to the wheels I have so there you go. ;)

Not to be negative, but in my humble opinion 18s are too big for the MINI. There will be plenty of folks who disagree with me on that one tho! Final word is it's yours- do it up the way you like mate. :cool: :)

RESULT! After deciding (yesterday) that I need some new rims you've taken all the work out of it and chosen exactly the sort of thing I want... :D

Now - just gotta see how much it'll cost me to get wheels like that here in blighty, but of course, in white!

The ASA AR1's look great - just like 18" R90's!

If you need opinions I would choose the top ones. Like their style.

My advice is go for the ones you like most. Follow your heart on this one. :)

Defo the top ones IMO.... I love the look, granted they are probably more of a pain in the ?, to clean but worth it !!!...

I've got a set of 18's winging their way to me, apparantely the 18's on non runflats give a much better ride and handling that the 17's with runflats

Bottom one are too common looking. Top ones, look stylish, expensive and tasteful.

To be honest I like both sets of wheels, although I did vote for the ASAs only because I won't have to clean them!
