OK, so who likes the new JCW lightweight wheels?

Would you retrofit them to your Mini if they were available in 17" or 18"?

I think they're pretty cool.

They are some of the worst wheels i have ever seen, you couldn't pay me to put them on my car

The trouble is with wheels are that they are so much down to personal taste, i think these wheels are so different from the 'norm' that you will either love them or hate them.

But as they are a light weight wheels i suppose the main thing is their weight & not their looks as un-spung weight is the enemy after all.

I love em.

I can't stand the JCW spider wheels. These are much nicer looking and lighter.

I've changed my mind. I thought they were radical and exciting when the GP was unveiled but now they seem just odd for the sake of being different. (Is it just me or do they appear smaller than other 18s?) Maybe, they're fashion leaders and 'one day, all wheels will look like this.' But speculation is academic as MINI have announced that they are 'exclusive' to the GP Model.

Noooooooooo... tuning forks'r'us!! C'est tres minging if you ask me. They make the wheels look really small. They remind me of the new M6 wheels which I am not a big fan of. But I guess they are aimed at performance enhancing and not image enhancing.

Volkmake wheels that will out-perform these and they still look a damn sight nicer

Billy Smart · #11 (**permalink**) Nov 25th, 2005, 11:42 AM

Yep, love em...but i think they would look wrong on anything other than the GP

Just like a Corsa with Cavalier GSi wheels on....just don't go..

Love them personally

Would be a hard choice between those and the 105s though - if I had enough money that is
