yesterday i finally got my new wheels.

Kei racing force 10's in hyperblack. 18" obv lol

here they are:

AERO MINI · Jan 19th, 2008, 05:51 PM

They suit the Mini well. Good choice

RyanK · Jan 19th, 2008, 06:19 PM

Very Nice, I Like that alot. Just get yourself some clear side repeaters and your sorted!

The KEI Force 10's are one of the best aftermarket wheels available for Minis in my opinion

S33BBY · Jan 19th, 2008, 06:41 PM

Very nice. I've always liked those wheels.

Sportspack Mark · Jan 19th, 2008, 07:26 PM

They Look Sweet! good stuff

Darthbladerni · Jan 19th, 2008, 08:34 PM

Thanks everyone. It took me a long time to decide.

Anyway, this is the first thing i have done to the car. Atm nothing is important to be done apart from mudflaps lol. The larger wider wheels are kicking up so much dirt is is crazy so mudflaps first then an R50 badge for the front lower grill.

Then after that i will get some clear side repeaters, chrome bulbs then I am putting halo headlamps on the car and an OEM aero spoiler then im done for a while

Thanks for everyones feedback. When i got the wheels done i past alot of other mini drivers and was sitting at roundabouts beside them and alot of them either gave me a thumbs up or wound their window down to say nice wheels. lol so it means alot

yeah yesterday. the car is pulling slightly to the right but it was pulling slightly before i got them changed, so emphasized it. going to get it checked out on Monday.

Have you got your wheels yet Hugo??

I got budget tyres with mine but im going to get toyo's or yoko's when these go on me.

Darthbladerni · Jan 20th, 2008, 07:42 PM

infact hugo, have you seen the halo headlamps in halfords?? they can be put on properly and connected up properly with the proper relay and battery power etc or you can have it connected to the battery with a three way switch for the halo or halo + light.

And to everyone else, who has halo headlamps?

and also, what is the best way to clean aftermarket wheels, i refuse to let them get dirty, and does brake dust repellent work?

sorry for all the questions lol

I use Poorboy's Wheel Sealant (recommended by Detailing World) and the brake dust just washes off with no effort.

One thing I'd say is if you're going to wax them and need to get them clean before you do so, don't use any acid-based wheel cleaners. There are some natural products out there (often citrus-based) that will disolve the brake dust. My advice would be to head over to Detailing World and have a search as you'll find that everything has been asked and answered.

MINIAC · Jan 27th, 2008, 06:27 PM
