Ok, some peeps started to do this in another thread but I want everyone to see this (and hopefully participate) so I started a new thread.

Please post the following (if possible):

make/model of wheel
offset
size of tires
if the car is lowered, let me know what ya got!
and of course, let me know if you had any rubbing problems



I would really, really, really appreciate it! At this point I have selected 2 wheels I want. One comes in both 16 and 17, one comes only in 16. 16's look good but I just can't decide.


Thanks much!

Kirk

 

what wheel did you decide on?

 

here are mine:
rota slipstream 16x7
+40mm
205/45R16
stock suspension
no rubbing

 

not very visible, but here's my 16s setup:
BSA 303
Silver
16x7
40mm offset with 3mm spacer in front
215/40-16 V710s, ive since dumped them

and the car is lowered on eibach springs

 

Here are some 16" wheel threads ...

These are my 16" OZ Superleggera wheels. Lots of wheel arch gap because of high speed turn.



Here is a set of 16" OZ Ultaleggeras from another post.

 

Here are mine. ASA JH6 wheels from Tire Rack. You can find the spec's there. Stock ride height, my car must clear road kill.

I went with 16's for a better ride. Happy with my decision.

 

16" Rota Slipstreams with 205/50/16's. No rubbing and lowerd on H-sport springs.

 

OK. Here are the 16" OZ Superleggeras on my first MINI with Bridgstone Potenza Pole Position tires (don't remember the size) No suspension work.

 

Man, now I'm liking those Ultraleggeras How do you think a graphite silver would look on a jet black/jet black cooper?

 

Panasport
16 x 7
offset 40

stock suspenders

 

Hey Bee1000n,I recognize those wheels. I see you every now and then on the 805 headed north in the am and at times taking the Via de la Valle exit. Your wheels look great. If you were to drop it it would just get better. I'm running 16's now as well. I was running 18's when we saw each other. I'll be lookin for ya.

 

I remember seeing you at Via de la Valle one day. It's always nice to see an enthusiast's Mini. You'd think San Diego would be full of them, but I rarely see a modded Mini. As far as lowering my car: suspension changes are a medium priority on my mods list, behind a pulley and brake upgrade but ahead of exhaust and an aero front bumper.

Hope to see you soon on the mean streets of the morning commute!

 

Send me a PM sometime and I'll introduce you to a bunch of fun crazy good ol' Mini Modders or look up West Coast Mini's on Yahoo .

 

Just had my wheels back on...
