What do you think of this wheel?

johnsocal · Jun 8th, 2002, 01:24 PM

The company that makes it is Voxx @ http://www.voxxwheel.com

The actual name of the wheel is called "Scorze" and I believe they are sold at American tire @ http://www.tire.com

They tend to suit Riceboy car

Wheelmania in the UK sell very similar wheels for folks in the UK

They are superb.

But I'm loving my Hamann's...

johnsocal · Jun 8th, 2002, 03:39 PM

Those Hammans are very cool.

how much are those badboys in US dollars?

johnsocal · Jun 9th, 2002, 01:17 AM

here's a cool wheel from www.konigwheels.com

Alex,

I called wheelpower and those Hamman wheels are $385.00 each for the 17's (modular look) and $800.00 for the 18's (true 3 piece)

Those wheels look like they are really well made.

Those Voxx Scorze wheels only sell for around $250.00 each but I doubt they are made as well as your Hamanns

alexcroft · Jun 11th, 2002, 04:52 AM

Johnsocal,

The Hamann wheels are very well made, but apparently the word in the wheel world is that Breyton wheels are the best made wheels in the world...apparently!

www.breyton.de

This is why they could be damn expensive!

But they are stunning wheels...

...mmmmmm....

Alex.

johnsocal · Jun 11th, 2002, 09:54 PM

I emailed www.voxxwheel.com regarding if the Scorze wheel is available for the Mini Cooper yet.

The following was their reply :

John,

Voxx has forwarded your email to me at Discount Tire Direct. We arethe largest distributor of Voxx wheels in the USA. The Scorze is built in a 17" 4-100, will fit the Mini perfectly, and will cost you $170 per wheel.

Unfortunately, the wheel won't be available until around the middle of July.

We do have a great many different brands and styles currently in stock if you'd like to check out our website at http://www.discounttiredirect.com .

Thanks for the email and let me know if you have any further questions.

John,

go for it...but some pics please!

Alex.

johnsocal · Jun 12th, 2002, 01:23 PM

Alex,

Im not sure if Im going to get the Voxx or the Hamanns. While the Hamans are no doubt a higher quality wheel Im just going to see how much money I have to spend in the next couple of months.

Are yours 17's or 18's?

alexcroft · Jun 12th, 2002, 02:13 PM

John,

We are the only people (oh, and 1 by smiffy) who have contributed to this thread!

Mine are the 17", HM4 is the model number. I have ss+, and the tyres can still rub on the arches. This is largely due to the fact they are 215 wide, so my advice for whatever you decide is go for, MAX would be 17-40-215...

Much fun!! And it saves so much time not having to slow down for corners, any corners.

This mini can out handle a dog!

Pics please John.

Alex.

i think the MINI looks pretty good with the hamman rims

johnsocal · Jun 14th, 2002, 01:05 AM

This Voxx wheel is like the the Scorze but all silver and without the 3-piece look

johnsocal · Jun 14th, 2002, 01:10 AM

this is a nice wheel from www.tirerack.com

alexcroft · Jun 14th, 2002, 12:41 PM

I much prefer those Voxx wheels.

johnsocal · Jun 16th, 2002, 01:38 AM

These Ronal wheels from www.gotmini.com look alot like 17inch Cooper-S wheels.

eltel · Jun 16th, 2002, 05:30 AM

I too prefer the Hamman wheels, but are way out of my price range.

Regards, ElTel
