I just put a set of 19" HRE's on my MCS. They look great...if I could only figure out how to post a pic with this thread!?!?

 

I was able to post 2 pics on the "Member MINI's Gallery" section of this site. They are located on page# 528. I will post additional pics later.

 

you need to upload the pict somewhere and link it after hitting the IMAGE
button.

do you have larger brake rotors too?

nice looking black is beautiful machine....interesting blacked out headlight trim...

I;ve always thought somebody with a pepper white/black could do one trim ring black and call their car "Petey"

how do they ride? rough?

I pretty much blacked-out all of the chrome trim on the car. The ride is not too bad...I also have a full H&R Coilover kit.

 

I installed the H&R Coilover Kit, car handles very, very well.

 

I think 19's look like too big, I think 18's fill the well nicer. but that's just IMHO. I do like the wheels themselves and the color, tho :smile:

 

I guess I don't get the black wheel thing, escpecially when you pay real money to have wheels that are hard to discern. In those pics, I can't readily make out the shape of the spokes. Also, the black minimizes the wheels, making them look much smaller than 19". (That's why fat people wear black.) Only the profile of the tires gives away the size. They'd probably look good with some kind of higher visibility finish.

 

mcsmiami- very nicely done. Are you using any camber adjustments at all?

 

Get a closer shot of the wheels! First MINI I've heard running HRE's...I know some who were / are thinking about it, but very cool!

 

I have rim envy!!!
Mine are only 16...

 

No camber adjustments made, just installed coliovers and started driving...seems fine to me.

 

The HRE wheel decision was a tough one...these wheels are expensive (!) and I didn't feel like spending that kind of money on my MINI.....oh well, I thought......at least there won't be another MINI like it. I'll post close-ups of the wheels in the "Member MINI's Gallery" section.

 

cool, thanks for the info.

 

>>I have rim envy!!!
>>Mine are only 16...

Not to fret. Size matters... yours are lighter, less expensive, and easier to replace.

Nice setup tho. (full on closeup please)

 

Holy small brakes batman!! You need to get a huge brake package in behind those badboys. I like the look of the wheels though. Very stealth, you need the laminx black out package for your side markers too. check em out at rspeed.com

cheers, jason

 

I think 18s woulda looked better, but damn that's sexy. Get your windows tinted ASAP!

 

Looks cool, are you having any rubbing issues?

 

Very Nice ...MCS
I really like the black ed out chrome...looks terrific :smile:
and...... very nice rims as well :smile:
Are those $1200 each ??? ( I looked at the web site) or for a set of (4)????

Peace,
D

 

Being HRE's - $1200 each sounds about right.

 

that is the BEST looking MCS i've EVER seen.......
i think all you need is window tint and you're done my friend!

 

>>Being HRE's - $1200 each sounds about right.

HRE's are expensive but worth every penny! A lot of the M3 guys run HRE wheels, they're are some of the nicest wheels around
