Post Advice on KEI Flights please

Hi there,

I have been looking all over the place for wheels that I feel will suit the Mini for around the past 2 weeks, it seems to be mission impossible . Anyway here goes...

Was curious on what fellow Mini2'ers thought on the KEI Racing Flight Wheels attached to thread. I feel they look fantastic, a tad similar to O.Z ultra leggera's with half the price tag! A price tag of £599 that is due to them being "out of date"

Although the confusion occurs when I compare them to the other wheels I have in mind,
  • KEI Racing Force 10 Hyperblack (Around £900)
  • Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Gloss Black (Around £700)
  • Toora T240's (Around £800)
  • JCW R99's (around £800)
  • Rota Subzero's (around £800)
Please could I have suggestions in which are the best wheels to opt for in this situation. To note I have a JCW Brake kit on the way, so really looking for wheels that will show them off

Thanks in Advance
Ryan

I think they are more bling than performance. if bling is what you want your on to a winner if performance is what you want they weigh a bit lighter than the moon! if you are replacing the wheels on your GP only Ozz ultraleggras will do in black . at sixteen you will have to wait one more year to use them!

I only know about the 18 x 7.5 Kei Racing force 10s but they weigh 10.4 kg which is 0.2kg lighter than R105s and 0.3 lighter than R95s. GP R107s weigh in at 9kgs. Agree Super/Ultraleggras are the dogs at 7.5kgs

Hi Laura

Haven't purchased wheels yet, not buying anything until I can afford every mod i want to do to the car. I reckon this will be around April/May Time...but im in no hurry because im only 17 on Saturday so wont be passed my test for a while yet

I think im gonna get some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s in Gloss Black so my car should look identical to the one shown in the picture.

Stealthmode!
