the side skirts are from "Prior Design". But I can't recommend them, because they don't fit very well. I had to do a lot of rework when I wanted to install them

But after all the result looks quite good - that's most important

Vmaxx coils with ALOT of room left to go down. I need to get around to getting more camber dialed in so I can go a little lower in the rears. The fronts have miles of clearance, Im just lazy lol

Thanks

Yea they are sportmax. Im gonna change to something better when I can find it. Im thinking about equip 01s but it takes like 3 months to receive them. Either those of Keskin KT-1s. I was gonna get BBS RS's but they're kinda played out lol.

I gotta say though, your wheels are tempting me to get some Meisters. I didnt know they came that small. What are the specs?

Im gonna do some research into the Meister. I always thought 17 was the smallest but I never really looked that far into it. I'll have to get them at least 8" wide though.

I was gonna refurb the BBS anyways so I dont care about the condition, but it's hard enough just find 4x100 for a decent price. They do look really good on the MINI though.

Lizandrooo,
Thankyou. I've sure got some fancy notions going thru my head after seeing all the MINIs here. It's fun to look and think

Crappy camera phone pix, but you get the idea. New wheels go on Thursday, and the HL rings are being traded for some chrome ones too. Lots more mods about to happen than these pictures show.

My wheels = 17x7.5" ASA LW5's in white et43, I think (pretty sure).

The wheels are different. If you look closely to where the spokes meet the outer wheel (where the tires go) you'll see that my wheels go straight, the others have a slight curve to them.

For comparison:

ASA LW5's: my wheels.


Lenso Samurai LS2: his wheels.


Very similar, but not the same.

Glad I could help... Only problem is, the ASA's are discontinued, and it's actually very hard to find a set now-a-days.

Not sure about the other ones...

I haven´t found the ASA, now I know why
I haven´t found the Lenso Samurai LS2 either. I think they aren´t sold here But I´have found the Lenso DC5 and I think it´s the same one, with another name

Here's my 03 R50. Only had it a month so not too many things done yet. The first is the day I brought it home.
