already posted elsewhere but I figure these should be added to this forum:

Gram Light 57S 17x7.5 with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 215/45... 40 mm offset, rubs with M7 springs...

 

Loving the white rims with the IB/W combo. I have been looking for white S-lytes cuz I love the old pana-sport look. Weight is not too much of an issue for me, but if it was, those would be an option. I like them a lot.

 

I have these on my Chili Red, with 215/45/17 F1 GY's. Each wheel/tire weighs 36 lbs! My stock was 48.5.

 

Pics? I had looked at this for for a long time, but never commit to get a set due to the price tag.

 

Thanks for the Purplehaze dose not photograph well

But I'm sure they will look good on IB/W as well

 

oh my god!!!!!!! my dream wheel!!!!! of course i'd take it in grey

just a question though, did those black caps come with the wheel? ive been looking forever for something to cover up the rust on the hub

 

For "BLING" wheels check my Gallery.Yes i know there heavy and i don't care.

 

Sweet looking MINI, just love the decal on the back window

 

thanks for the comments...

regarding the caps. the ones I used don't come with the wheel, they aren't actual wheel caps, they are bearing caps. If you go to Tire Rack they have official wheel caps but they are $18 each... What I did was visit the local O'Reilly's Autoparts store. I've looked everywhere on the internet but I must not be searching by the correct name but they are universal bearing caps, they should have them in stock as they are used on many vehicles, to keep the grease inside the hub. They come in different "heights" and are made of cheap steel. Diameter is 50 mm I think for our car. I simply painted them black after I put them on the front hubs. The rear doesn't need them and they wouldn't fit anyway. Just remove your rear wheels, clean the "hub cap" already in place and paint it black. Looks pretty nice...

 

See, I thought it was IB/W, just bad exposure. Shows how blind I really am, haha.

Still, car is looking good!!! I want white rims soooooo bad, it would be perfect with my set up right now. Maybe I will just have my rims powder coated the next time I change out tires.

 

Taking a photo with a light(color)background it will look IB or HB on a darker background, it dose look purple/blue

See below Left PH right IB

 

ah, totally see the difference there. PH does play tricks on you, the ones I mainly see that color are converts. The white s-lytes on there do look hot though.

 

Yes it does, the R/F on the S-Light's would not make it through the Dragon with the tread thats left on them. ohhhh well new wheels and tires for Merlin... I'll put snow tires on S/L's for the winter.

 

that is the wonderful part of the standard cooper, I got a donut spare, haha. I run Prada Spec 2's right now, but will be switching to Falkens next. Not worried about run flats...don't need to. Have fun at the dragon!!!

 

Thanks 03Indigo

 

those gramlites look very nice!

 

Thanks It was my good friends idea. His favorite movie of all time is Scarface.He's Cuban. Go figure

 

I too would love to see these wheels on a Chili Red, becasue that is the exact set up that I am looking for on my MINI.

The request for these wheels on a Black car, see:

Here's some quick pics:

 

Just installed yesterday, and I just washed it this morning...

Kazera KZ-S, 17x7, with Kumho Ecsta SPT, 205/45/17:





With the lower profile tires, as compared to my old stock 15-inch setup, I thought I would have to lower the car, but the ride height looks just about right to me.

 

beautiful

 

nice!

 

Fdavid, SWEET ride. I like it alot
