I could not find an exact match but this might be close enough. Maybe change the pics to black and white and squint hard. Maybe drink a few beers.




These pictures are of a CR MC with aerokit and-
Flik Bullet-C 17x7 rims +42mm et and 17 pounds Carbon with polished inner

Flik Bullet-A is very close with anthracite finish in two sizes:
15x6.5 +40mm et 12.5 pounds Sold out until first week Dec. 2004
17x7 +42mm et 17 pounds. Sold out.

Yea, I saw those pics allready... The weird angles dont show the true look of the wheels though. I was hoping someone had a side veiw shot or something not so dynamic. Good looking car though!

Yeah, dang... looks like a Cooper to me! I guess there's a bit of benefit to having the "S" hood on a Cooper, but I think it would still look awesome with a Cooper hood.

SpeedandStyle.com carries them (or a reasonable facsimile thereof & in other colours) under the name "REV type 11" and Wheelmax carries them (same disclaimer as above) as "Exel Speed".

Hold on and I'll get some pics tomorrow. I'm running those wheels on my DS/B MCS. It's pretty freaking dark right now, but when that big orb rises in the morning I'll take some pics and post them for you.

Thumbs up for painting over carbon fiber.

It looks like they painted more than just the hood, are those other parts carbon fiber as well?

OK, that flaming org rose again and I took some pics. I know, it's dirty. It's like that a lot. You might notice the the polished area on the inner rim doesn't have the same painted stripes as in the pic of the red MC. I'm told they don't do those painted bars on them any more.

no those parts aren't carbon YET....heh heh...it's called blending...we did that so there was no hard variation in the paint from bonnet to the rest of the car
