And here they are...






I've yet to see these wheels (that I can recall) on a Clubbie yet. Even more so, I've only seen these wheels in this color combo (chilli red/gold feathers) once ever.

Threw my stock JCW's on fiance's R57. Looks so much better than her crowns did.

 

And if I even need to mention... WOW what a difference. No more run flats, and 16.5lbs wheels! I thought my tires were very low with how much smoother it was.

 

nice looking combo get some better pics. love the gold on red

 

I will this week. Hated that my camera was 125 miles away!

 

"gotsmart has a set ... take a look:

Nice looking wheels. But I'd be kicking myself in the *** EVERY time I had to clean them. And with the stock brake pads, that amounts to about 2-3 times a week...NO THANKS.

 

Jbcola showed some pics of a sweet looking Clubbie. However, not only do the new wheels look like wagon wheels, but I have to think that thing rides about as rough as a cob.

You better hope and pray that you NEVER hit a pothole with those bad boys. After having the wheels and tires replaced, you'd also need to visit the dentist to have all your fillings replaced...Will you auto insurance pay for that, too?

 

Hahahaha, yeah you're right

Go and place some 16" on your ride

 

No matter what you got, there's always better/worse out there... however you wanna look at it.

 

Wow tirerack shipped them last night and they showed up already. Going to have them put on tomorrow. After this just need to get gate area repainted black then I'm done for a while.

 

 

Woot they are on!








Next is painting the silver on the rear end black, its heading to the body shop on the 22nd

 

You now what i mean

 

Of course

...and getting rid of the wheelgap! Wheels look great.

 

One day maybe, the gap isn't that big on a mini. I lowered my last car (mustang gt) and even with the steeda sports springs the gap was still bigger then the stock mini. I promised myself I wouldn't go crazy like I did with my last car

 

answering myself w/ something I recently figured out -- turns out the R90 16s are /not/ labeled as compatible, by MINIs own fitment guide, with the Clubman S!

so now I think I'm going to either R111's or another 16"er... just haven't decided which I like best.

 

added some 18" jcw this weekend. dealer had them on sale with pzero runflats. the ride is pretty good suprisingly. love the look, no so much the gap.

 

Posted on the other thread, but thought I would double up here on the wheel thread. Rota RB's from Fastmini.net, Michelin 215/45/17's. All I can say is dump the run flats, what a difference.

 

heres some pic's of my cooper s with 18'' breyton flame replicas

 

Beautiful! Wow.

 

Where did you get them(flame replica)?

Do they come in gunmetal or a darker color?

Nice wheels

 

i got them here in the UK, but you can probably get them from tire rack over there, i've post a link for the original breytons but i would search for some replicas over there as they will be a lot cheaper

Winter time:










The rest of the year:

 

thanxs shoof looks beautiful !

 

Man, that is one SWEET-looking Clubbie! Shame about the color, though...<g> What spoiler is that? And does it help to mitigate the filthy barn door issue?

Very nice car, bro!

 

Thanx!

Spoiler is the stock spoiler that you would order from the factory. I can't say if it does anything to prevent the doors from getting dirty because they usually get dusty from driving..
