I have just put some 17 bullets on my MC but I am not sure if I prefered the 16'' fins I had on before, What do you think, PICs in my Gallery.

I think the bullets.

I like the 16" fins but I think the best 16's are the 5-stars because theres 'less' of them as it were.

What do you think? Its all down to personal taste after all

I see what u mean tough choice, but i think bullets win

Richy777 · Mar 4th, 2006, 07:17 PM

You are right about the personal tast, as I dont like 16" 5 stars but much pref. the fins, But I am still not sure about the bulets though, I might put the fins back on tommorow?

I'd say that the Fins look the better of the two. I have them in white and they look larger than 16'', just an illusion I'm sure.

Fancy removing the wheels from a car that's only a couple of days old, I thought I was the only one. Mine come off twice a month for a good clean, family think I'm sad, tut tut.

its a pity they are different sized wheels, you could have had fins on one side and bullets the other and looked at the side of the car that you fancied that day

You could put 17's on the back and go for the hot rod look?

I think 17" bullets look great on a hardtop MINI.
Here in Canada they are quite rare, being only available on the Cooper S cabrio with the optional sport package.
As an added bonus they are also the lightest of the OEM 17" wheels.

i think i am going to leave the bullets on as for the weight them both (sad i no) and to my suprise they were both exactly the same. both with dunlop tires on.
