What y'all think about my new wheels? Lowered on Bilstein B12 kit but running r55 springs only difference is rear is lowered .08 instead of 1.2 like front.

 

Excellent looking wheels; what happened to the center caps?

 

I took them off I kind of like the look more without the center caps

 

I'd strongly suggest finding some wheel caps that you DO like then, because those of us who've dealt with frozen axles in hubs look for all the protection we can get...

 

He's in California. Highly doubt corrosion is an issue.

 

I does rain there, from what I've heard... ;-) I live in Arizona, and still have to watch stuff like this because I do travel to where it actually does get cold (and snowy and icy, hence salty).

And FWIW, I used to live in the Florida Keys. Never, ever a problem with snow and ice, but I've seen cars that a good sneeze would probably deconstruct due to the all-over rot from the effects of an ocean (in the case of the Keys, all around - but if the OP lives near the beach, it can be a real issue, too).

 

Honestly never been a fan of center caps and never really used them on any of my cars for the last 30 years not once had an issue because of it but then again this is Mini lol. Thanks for your concern!

 

Wheels without center caps look unfinished, in my opinion.

 

The track I got to requires you to remove them so I just keep them off also depends on the wheels and how they look I'm not really fan of them unless they are BBS or something nice. Again it's just personal taste.
