I've been looking at this Type-M with great interest. But the 18's are 18x8 with +45 offset. Wouldn't rubbing be a serious concern if lowered?

PlayPlay · #**5428** 04-02-2008, 08:48 PM

Hey Maxi....have you tried them out yet? How do they feel?

If anything, you might need spacers to make it ET40 or something around there as it may rub on the INSIDE.

DZ101 and not Direzza Sport Z1/StarSpec? I had the DZ101 on my Volks and hated them.

I see you and raise you Pro Race 1.2 15x7ET38 with 205/50 heat cycled and shaved Yokohama A048's

Black r90s can be had right from your dealer, pretty cool mini overs them in silver, anthracite, and black now.

Did this just happen?...I know you cannot even order a Mini with R90s anymore...they can only be purchased from the dealer

crazyaboutmini · #**5436** 04-02-2008, 11:54 PM

probably late last year? its even in the configurator, its the very last rim to the right from what i remember.

I haven't decided yet. Probably sell them or trade for some better looking 17's....Although I have no idea how much they are worth

discodan · #**5442** 04-04-2008, 10:17 AM

I've been looking at the Type-M v1 in black or charcoal as well. Hopefully they aren't too heavy... because I really want 'em!

rippymcs · #**5449** 04-05-2008, 08:27 PM

I don't see the Type-M on their website anymore. Did they discountinued it already? Though they still have it listed in their price list http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/pri...els.html#TYPE2

mini_racer · #**5450** 04-05-2008, 10:26 PM

They look pretty good and I know they are lighter than OEM as well, nice selection.

However, could you please post a few higher res pics of those wheels? We have just found out that at least some of the vendors selling this wheel have a rendered image of the wheel on their site instead of an actual photo. Since I want details of what this wheel actually looks like......... I am hoping you could help.

Thanks
