You'd have to drive one seriously competitive race car to worry about the weight of the paint on your wheels :lol:
They're missing brands like Tenzo because they don't carry the low quality import-tuner brands (tenzo, rota, konig, etc.) The best place to find those is among the popular honda and import tuner sites. JLBmotorsports carries a bunch of the lines of cheaper tuner wheels like Rota and Konig. I'm sure a quick google search will bring up the best Tenzo dealer.
For future searches, the red lip on black wheel is known as "time attack". Originally coined by Volk back when they were popular a year or two ago. That should help your search if that's the style you're looking for.
The wheel in the pic at Outmotoring will not fit a MINI as it has 5 lug holes and they don't even look like 1.2s. :frown2:
Yeah, I know it is only a pic, but if you are gonna charge $200 for a wheel at least provide an exact picture of the product. Pro Race 1.2s that I have seen and what is displayed on the TDR website have 'TEAM DYNAMICS MOTORSPORTS' lettered in to the lip, whereas the wheels pictured on the Outmotoring site have a smooth lip with no lettering and might be 1.0s or 1.1s. I dunno.
As Rally stated, paint is not a concern as far as wheel weight.
I don't want to hijack this post so I'll start another, I have bought the cheaper tuner wheels and see why they are cheaper, curious as to who the quality mfg's are. As I said I'll post separate, look forward to your replies
I dont mind, i'm just trying to get ideas. After thinking about this, the TDR wheels are 199, which almost what I can get Enkei RPF1 in black for, and the RPF1's are lighter..
anyone know of a lightweight wheel, roughly in the same catagory as the ones so far, but more "deep dish". Like I like them to be sucked in more rather than flush with the out edge or the tire.
MINI's aren't great at housing wide wheels. You can get pretty wide, but it requires stretched tires (i.e. 205/45/16 on 16x9) to avoid rubbing. While stretched tires are a great option, they aren't the best option if you're worried about traction with tires like 235's.
