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

These are the CRONO EVOLUTIONS , these are probably my fave wheels

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 03:18 PM

These are the VOLCANOES these are quite nice too!

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 03:21 PM

But checkout how deep the VOLCANOES are! Very nice inded, but these wheels are a bit heavier, but I think they are lighter than the S Spokes

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 03:23 PM

These are the OPERAS they're ok, but they might go well with the MINI's bubly looks huh?

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 03:25 PM

So guys which one you think would look best on the MINI.....I might be getting the BMW body kit soon, so need to take them inta consideration

spanky2k · Feb 18th, 2002, 03:44 PM

The antares look good, but I don't think they would look good on the mini. They're too hard looking, with bold hard lines, not really appropriate for the mini's smooth rounded 'cuddly' look!

I reckon the volcanoes would look quite good out of those, in real life.

mini-mini · Feb 18th, 2002, 05:41 PM

super leggara's in polished finsish 7x17 lighter than all above and availible in mini fitment

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 06:41 PM

Cool, are they by OZ....I'll go and check.
I'll stick a pic on here aswell

Ibb · Feb 18th, 2002, 06:43 PM

These are the Superleggeras
Very nice actually MINI-MINI, theses would look a treat on my Cosmos black/white roof Cooper!

Cheers buddy

noahe · Feb 18th, 2002, 10:29 PM

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.

Ibb · Feb 19th, 2002, 12:42 PM

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

Kinster · Feb 19th, 2002, 01:35 PM

None of them beat the 17" S Spoke Alloys

Ibb · Feb 19th, 2002, 01:49 PM

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

minicoopersgirl · Feb 19th, 2002, 02:52 PM

SUPERLEGGERAS is my pic, but will be hard to keep clean. My second pic is the CRONO EVOLUTIONS.

Wicked!

Do you own a car accessories shop
(plz tell me the correct word for you kind of shop)

Seeing as you sell alloys......will the run flats fit on these wheels like any other tyre, or do you have to have special alloys?

I'd love to hear what prices you would sell em at...cheers
