They are a copy of one of my favorite wheels back in the 90's TSW Hockenheim R, mate had some of a Renault 5 Turbo raider which looked epic, these came up on eBay last year and I had to have them because of that, looks quite good on the mini too.

How many miles? I've got 61,000 miles on my 2007 MCS, purchased at 45,600 miles. Oil changes every 5000-6000 miles.

I guess if you like those then you can look into TSW Hockenhiems

Thanks, but it seems that those are also discontinued. I think I'll just stick with heavy R90's for a while.

For the thread, here's a pic of my lowered MINI after a little automotive cosplay fun...

None at all - actually had 3 passengers in it in NYC and didn't rub once. Even on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Glad to pass on some real data - I sweated going wider for no reason apparently.

Not sure when I can go over the roof in white with that stripe, but then it will be done.

Hey y'all... here is an updated pic of my Clubman with a new JCW body kit that I installed last week. The front is completely on the ground, and the sides are about 1/2" from the ground.

Hello! Greetings from Finland. This is my static R56 with 18'' Alfa Romeo GT Blackline wheels, coilovers and customized wheel hubs.

It's been a sh*t car but I like it when it works.
