So you really like the looks of the R90 wheel offered for the MINI but don't like the asking price of $3300...no kidding Here's what I had done about 2 weeks ago to address that...



With the flash on


Close up action!


I just took these after I washed the car and have let to wipe out the brake dust residue from the insides of the wheels, so please forgive me This mod cost me $50.00 and looks very OEM and when combined with a quality wheel like the PIAA Sport Mesh like I have or something like the ASA AR1/AR2's would looks equally good as well What do you guys think?

Klasse, maybe Im stupid, but to us freshmen could you point out the MOD that you made. By your posting it sounds like you bought all the wheels for $50. Just looks like a good looking set of wheels to me.

Sorry about that, but its the MINI custom decals for the centercaps that cover up the PIAA logos that come standard

Even if he "just bought the wheels" it would be a mod.
