Think it looks better now mate

Nice, have you stayed at 16" or gone down to 15"?

I'm just about to go from 16 to 15 on my Cup after doing it on my Mini Cooper S Works. This was the best mod I did to the Mini, the way it felt after was amazing. Reducing unsprung weight by 1kg is like removing 4kg of sprung weight!

i kept with the 16 but a wider offset than the standard wheels(i think) cant just remember what offset standards are now

thanks for c+c's

 

[Stefan.]

sorry but i too preferred it on the standards

I also prefer the original. But I think it is because you have grey bullets on a silver car with black wheels :S

Looks better now IMO. I am not a fan of the 8 spoke 182 wheels on 172s TBH

 

[Jimbo_M]

They look very nice indeed, will be lighter too

 

[j26]

the bullets are getting changed too, black with silver numbers and letters, should of said in original post

i forgot how much the 182 wheels weigh until today, 1.2's are a hell of a lot lighter

Should look tidy then

 

[leeds_182]

[Android]

Honestly think i prefer standards

 

[TimR26]

I hate 182 wheels so good move getting rid of them IMO

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

OEM bullets would look better. Much prefer the wheels though.

OEM bullets would look better. Much prefer the wheels though.

Bullets need to go dark to match the wheels IMO.

Look alright to me though...

 

[Bramley]

prefered 182 wheels im afraid

 

[jaye2992]

much better than the standards imo

 

[essexdon]

love td 1.2

 

[j26]

cheers for all comments, main reason to change the wheels was to stop being a 182 lookalike. Do like the old wheels but cant wait to get on some backroads as it feels differnt to drive now
prob just placebo effect as they are a wider offset

You do know that, in profile................. its the SAME CAR!!

 

[Jekyll]

im not sure what i prefer. i like the look of standard wheels on silver with a little low going on, but also like the pr's too.

perhaps darken your badges to match? or even colour code with black lettering?

I think his point is that he's not a fan of people fitting 182 wheels to 172's.

My opinion is the same, not keen on them at all.

Definitely better on the new wheels.
