Whoa!!

Check these new wheels out! They are - um, how do you say - the dogs ********!!

I know Hartge was making Hartge Classic wheels for the MINI, but where did these Union Jack wheels come from?

I was just touting the virtues of my Helo Bezels, and now these come along to make my world more difficult.

Oh well...

They are really cool nonetheless.

Here's the site I saw them at.

Your input please!

Thanks!

P.S. Is the word ******** really that bad, that it needs to be masked?

Everyone,

I have just received confirmation that THESE ARE - IN FACT - THE HARTGE MINI WHEELS! The Hartge Classic Wheels (11-spoke) were used for photos on early cars, but they were not productionalized due to some issue.

They are still supposed to be available in the same timeline.

What do you think? I quite like them!!

I find them a little too busy for my taste.

the real question is, how much? If I remember correctly the hartge classics were mighty pricey the last time I checked. Either way, they are very nice, but to pay over $300 per rim w/o tire, is a bit to much for me.

Different

Id like to see them in the 'flesh' 1st

Actually, I believe that the pricing is about £1800, including Pirelli Rosso Tires.

Take a look at my car below. Yes, those are in fact Hartge classics. Last time I was at Hartge in July, they were testing four different paint schemes on the Union Jacks. Hartge has both the Classic and the Union Jack for the Mini. Here is a picture of their test car that had four different colored Union Jacks on it last time I was at their shop.
