Currently helping speccing a MCS for a family member (and will be speccing myself mid next year) and as the Bullets will be available on the hardtop S from next year would just like peoples opinion.
I know the S-spokes are very popular, I have them on my current S but they do look good as do the bullets but we are undecided as to which suits the car best..... your opinons would be appriciated....thanks

P.S - Have seen them both in the flesh (metal)

I would go for the Bullets to be a little different before they get flooded with every 1 having them!
What colour is your new MINI going to be?

Mines a little while away yet, well a few months but probably either EB again (if Emma gets her way ) or Hyper Blue or even Chilli red

I personally like the bullets

most gangsters do rich aiiiiiiiii

not sure which are bullets - they what you had previously andy?

i like the s spokes - look very classy

I chose the Bullets in White with my Black Eye Purple MCSC and they really look sharp.
BUT
I won't get to see them on until next spring because I have my snow tyres on now (I picked up the car last Tuesday) and I got a deal from the dealer to have my snows fitted on S-Lites so I got the best of both worlds

I would agree that there are fewer bullets out there and they do look really sharp in white with any of the darker colours on the body.

These are the 17" Bullets Scooby

ones I have had previously are 16" X-lite
and I have 17" s-spokes on at the moment

 

[Parc77]

well at this moemnt in time the poll is going 50/50
Looks like ill be getting 2 s-spokes and 2 bullets

 

[ALD0]

Yeah, you could set a new trend!!!

 

[Parc77]

, could have the car in 2 differnt colours too

I would go for X-lites 16', better handling.
I'm using 15' 8 spokes myself now. Very agile but totally zero grip in corners. Awaiting light weight 16' aftermarket rims.

But back to the question, I would go for Bullets. They are a bit lighter and still rare at the moment.

You should try putting tyres on them - that should improve the grip

Nah...
I'm driving on tram rails only. Gives super cornering abilities
Just have problems overtaking a tram here.....

How much do the bullets weight? Less than the s-spokes?

 

[Parc77]

bullets are looking favorite

 

[LMB]

Bullets - S Spokes are way too common.

 

[holder]

I'm not to keen on the bullets, S-Spokes look the best IMO.

 

[arbee]

bullets have the rarity factor at the moment but prefer the look of s spokes by far!

 

[ImaVunDerBrah]

Unless the bullets are much much lighter, than I say S-spokes!

This was the same decision I had to make last Sunday when I was submitting my final spec for a DS/B Cooper S and decided to go for the S spokes as they suit the car better. Not too sure about the bullets and the only reason I would've got them would be the fact they are new on the S hatchback...!

So what have you decided to get then?
