I just got back from vacation alex and will email you hopefully tomorrow. will be crazy looking through work emails. sigh.

 

Here's my GTS-R with the JCW Brembo's installed...they would only clear with 5mm spacers...for a peace of mind I also had longer bolts installed...

 

Maroon, that looks great. Were you able to find longer wheel lock bolts?

 

BlueToy,

Thanks!
Yes I did. Apparently they share the same specifications with the BMW X6. The shop was nice enough to sell me 8 pcs (though I end up only using 6 - used 2 safety bolts) from a set of Breyton wheels meant for the X6. The stock bolts had a 23mm thread length vs 27mm for the ones I got (if I measured them the correct way).

EDIT: Sorry, misread, lock bolts no..I couldn't find them :(

 

Anyone Chili Red with the matte gray Breytons??

 

That would be a nice combo

 

G33KGUY-

These aren't Breyton's, but the color will give you an idea. This is Evasive's Mini, and I think he killed it with the way he put it together. (Evasive, I hope your cool with me using pics of your car)

 

This totally helps out. Thanks for posting the pics!

 

Looks good. I have the bright silver Breytons 17x7 and the center cap is silver, wonder what the difference is? Mfr date?

EDIT
I just read back a page and read the answer to my question. Apologies! :P

 

Has anyone ever found "Mini" center caps that work with the Breytons? I don't mind the Breyton center caps just curious if anyone has tried this.

 

Hi teebo7,

Yes BlueToy have the Mini center caps in his Breytons. =)

 

lol didn't even notice! thanks Mario

 

You are welcome!!!

 

Thanks! Hope you didn't face the same issue as I did. I really wanted to keep the silver caps as I have some chrome exterior bits to match, but the shop didn't have them in stock so I just went with the black ones..

 

After a long week of waiting, finally!!!



I lost my camera charger so I'm stuck with a cell phone and simple editing.

 

^ Congrats, that looks great What are the tire specs?

 

Thanks BlueToy! I'm on 205/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 tires. I opted for 215/40/17 but I bought the wheels with 6 months of use and they came on them. Not complaining though! I do gotta get some adjustable rear control arms to help with the neg. camber, and eventually some spacers.

 

New pic, enjoy!!. =)

 

The more and more I see these wheels, the more and more I do not want anything else. Can we, moving forward, whenever pictures are posted, please post the specs of the wheels and tires? That would be most helpful for the community.

215/40/17 & 17x7

Sitting on ST Coilovers.

 

Nice...that's the first PW/matte grey combo I've seen. Would love to see more pics

 

:( so would i.

i want some

 

Just joined this forum and my first post ever! Any pics avail for a setup like Jahan's (bone stock 07 MCS)? Looking into nabbing some 17x7 matte grey gts-r mini's on 205/45R17's.

Also wondering how bumpy the ride will get if I installed some sport springs. Wouldn't want to wake my napping 3 year old

 

Breytons with 225/45 17 Continental ExtremeContact DWS. Too tall and wide for most people on this site… but if you’re like me and prefer a little extra rubber, more pics are in my gallery so you can see if this will work for you. No spacers, stock suspension, no rubbing yet. Tested my speedometer with two different GPS units with the cruise control set at 65mph. Not able to explain why, but was pleasantly surprised to see that my speedometer is dead on with this taller tire.

 

I've been looking for new rims... and I can't find a better looking set on the MINI then the Breytons. So sick. So so sick. I think I am gonna go with the 17" on in the matte grey on my Pure Silver MINI.
