Does anybody knows the wheel/tire combo specs on this UK mini. I find it very nice.

 

Even though they look like Enkei RPF1's, they are supposedly Konig Wideopen wheels, 15x8 et25 with 205/50/15 tires. I would ask member martijngizmo over at Minitorque for the details since it's his car.

Oh wow, interesting... I immediately went with the Enkei RPF1s myself. Guess I was wrong.

Wheel weights on the Enkeis are ideal... 15s weight around 9.5-11lbs each... 16s are 13-14lbs... 17s are 15-16 is memory serves.

 

I said supposedly since I don't think he ever confirms what brand the wheels are in the thread. Some people call them Enkei's when they say they like his new wheels, but one poster says they're Konig wideopens when someone asks what wheels they are.

Maybe the owner will give the details if messaged directly.

 

My sensibly modded R53

 

Wow I ended up reading thrue the 76 pages of his post and every mod he did, what a great journal and documenting every thing he did by dates, maybe I am a sick person as today was crummy day in texas rainy and I did not want to do enything so I red . I was going to do a rear wiper delete on my car but the weather got me lazy.

 

Where and how do you get that front aero dam, and what are the specs on those wheels???

 

Work in progress and still dialing in the stand alone, still have a bit of work I'd like to do though.

 

Thats pretty aggressive, seen a couple Gen1 MINI similar to that. You have some supper wide sticky tires

 

With a lucky dust..lol

By looking at several pictures of RPF1, Konig wheels and this car, i think they are Konig. The stance of this car looks like it has a lot of negative camber to bring in the tires closer to the fender edge.

 

225/45/15 R7s on 15x9 wheels

I tried using SM7s on 15x7 wheels, but that left the car under tired. Competition is ~3000 lb 3-series on ~245 width tires. At 2550 lbs 225s on 9" wide wheels works out nicely.

 

" Carson " is a 2016 Cooper S in Moonwalk Grey Metallic with black mirrors, roof,wheels and spoiler. 6.5" Visual Boost. Enhanced BT and USB. JCW Interior Package. JCW Exterior Package. Dynamic Damper Control. Sport Automatic Transmission with paddle shifters. Keyless Entry. Heated front seats. Rear view camera and Park Distance Control. HK audio. JCW tuner exhaust with Blue Tooth remote and ECU remapping (additional 30 hp....10 from open baffle, 20 from ecu tune).

 

Wow! List of mods?

 

Looks like a MINI cop car!

 

Yes! 17in Crown Spokes. Purchased off a fellow MINI employee who had them on his Clubman....Since they're black, and no lugs showing they look like 18 in wheels without the raised stance, thinner side walls...Probably my favorite wheel so far.

 

Is that a cooper motor? It sure don't look like it
..????
