| What do ppl think of these wheels? I've been checking out these wheels on the OZ racing site www.oz-racing.co.uk I'm really considering to buy one of these, but I need the help you you lovely ppl. After having a chat with the OZ guys these wheels are very light! I'm really interested in the Crono Evolutions (7x17 Weight 7.5 Kg £145.00 per Wheel) Volcanos (7x17 Weight 10.8 Kg £145.00 per Wheel) I might get wider ones in 16s, not sure yet. PICS BELOW |

| Those are all five-bolt wheels. Dosen't the MINI need a four-bolt wheel pattern. Also, as people have been so nice to point out before, check that the wheel offset is the same as the MINI's for the specified wheel width, or you'll sacrafice handling and possibly have the wheel rub on turns or contact the spats on bumps. |

| Yeah I know these wheels have a 5 bolt pattern, but OZ do 4 bolt pattern aswell its just these were the pics they had on their site. OZ are of a racing pdigree, so they should have loadsa combos to go for MINI......The Antares aren't suited for the MINI according to OZ so we'll scrap that design. Offsets shouldn't be a problem, unless you go for the really big wheels, ie 8+ inches wide. Cheers |

| Thanks Kinster, but I don't like the S Spokes that much. Thats why I put this post up so ppl can tell me which one out of these wheels look goods, I'm jut trying ta draw some opinions. S Spokes are quite heavy wheels tbw, light wheels allow the car to handle a bit better, and the suspesion and associated parts such as the wheel axles have less stress to cope with....due to lower amount of weight. Cheers Kinster |
