Wheel opinons needed.

[Boris]

I'm having a dilema. Two different styles of wheels, both 15lbs in 17x7.5.

Kinesis or Volk??

Please comment at the crappy p-shopped images!!

Thanks.
Boris

Kinesis. But both are nice, the Volk rims are a bit less busy.

I'll ditto that !

I like your choice of color/roof/wheels! (Mine is coming in Yellow/Yellow, with sunroof. I am thinking about a chequred pattern myself, but may do black/yellow) Be sure and post some pics when you get it together!

They're both nice looking, but I'd lean towards the Volks as well.

Actually, if you like that look you might want to consider the Center Line "RPM" wheels. The 17" x 7" weighs 13.5 lbs and can be had at America's Discount Tires for $279. Not sure how that compares pricewise to the Volks.

Interesting color on the car. Sherbet?

Volks ..... What color is that anyway? is it yellow or gold? hard to tell after the photochopping

[LuckyRVA]

Volks look much better, IMO.









P.S. Crappy photoshop job

[Boris]

Thanks for the comments and quit ripping on my Photoshop work!!

The car is Liquid Yellow and the wheels white!!

Regards,

Just installed a set of 17" ADR M-classic wheels on my MINI (along with Hankook 215/45/17 tires) and loooove the look!!!

I liked these Volk SE37k @ 14 pounds

Stock Cooper S lights are 26 pounds and Stock offered BBS are 24 pounds.

I am ordering these 17x7.5 4-100 at 42MM

[suprchrgdmini]

the volk seem to be the same as konig rated r's . i would check them out,not sure about the weight but they are pretty cheap.

[911ETR]

Helium Bronze (Ultra Light Weight Wheel) 17 x 7.0 bronze 16.2 lbs n/a

This is about as close as I could get with Koing. I dont think they make the rated r's any longer and they are a little different look than the volks. They are more classic volk looking however I think the volk look alikes are in the 9-12 pound area.
