Found this site, love the rims always have. Shipping is through the roof but $500.00 for 4 is not bad. Lighter than my S-Heavies will show off my new calipers and rotors what do you guys think. Anyone ever deal with them ? 1 year corrosion sounds scary but they will never see the winter. I just love the rim..... have a triple pure silver that will soon see viper stripes and a few mods to include Alta CAI..................

I hope you noticed they where replica's. A part from that those rims look awsome.

 

Well, they definitely look like GP rims, but you should get the JCW center caps to make them look more authentic.

Also, they are 17s and the GP wheels are 18s. Personally though, I prefer the 17s anyway.

And too bad they did not enhance them any by going to a 7.5" width. Still, a decent price and they look great.

 

I saw those rims too. I was ready to order as they look killer. But then I thought I would get accused of trying to look like a gp. see. I have had red morrors on my dark silver S since 2003. Even with that people accuse me of trying to look GP. I put those rims on and I would really get it. But what if I paint my top red. Humm. Gp's don' t have red tops. maybe then I could do it.

I just like those 4 spokes. they really look retro in a sort of way.

 

I dont really worry about what others say now if I had GP 1213 on my roof then yes But the rims look great I am not fond of my S-heavies and have a break kit installed would like to see it. Will probably order in the next week or 2. Just want to make sure my tires will fit went plus one on my 17".

 

Yes I did OEM gp's are through the roof and you need a GP vin # to order if you could even get one then

 

What width are the stock S-Lites

 

when you get em, post a picture. I want them bad too. they look awesome. my car is getting a whole make over. from engine to exterior. 135K miles and still going. may she motor for another 135K.

 

7"

Funny I just sold one to a guy in CT

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co.../11737/cat/all

 

Sure can, I know each box weighs 25lbs so I guess around 22 or so

 

 

Just got the rims today the weight is ...............................18lbs

 

Lets see some pics once you get them mounted. Those things are the best looking wheels I've ever seen.

 

Weight my S-Lite guess it 27lbs big difference THe rims look great had them put on will get pic's ASAP This has to be one of the best moves I love these things

 

I will sit here on this thread until you post pics. I have to decide between these or the cool joey moded Halo lights on ebay before MTTS/MITM.

 

Let me know what you think also look at my gallery before and after

 

some more

 

Did it come with the black lugs? Did it come with that S sticker in the center? And most importantly, on a scale of 1-10, how much are you drooling over them?

 

No the lugs are plastic covers and the stickers I pulled of my old rims . It does come with new MINI stickers...........1-10 ----10 I gave up a JCW GP fiber wing for these. How do you think it looks from my gallery pics ?

 

I have never been a big fan of the S-Lites so I think it was a great choice. And as good as a JCW wing looks, the S spoiler is nothing to laugh at. Thats why I put one on my R50. It really finishes the car's silhouette.

All in all, I think they are very clean. I wonder how much I could sell my current rims for? That might make these a good investment if i can get a good buyer.
