You need to drop it like that. It's a lot better all around. Mine is dropped in the rear like that but the front is a tiny bit higher due to all the weight I have been pulling out. The PSS9's are wound down as far as they can go. And they are still not low enough for my taste. The sig down below is a really old pic when the car was stock besides rims and tint

OK, but that will have to wait until I "modified" my drive-way first. Even now, with only the JCW drop, I have to "back in" into my garage.

I believe I found the perfect match wheels for my 06 AB/AB R53. Can someone please tell me where I can buy those Work wheels online. I went to the official (Japanese) website for the wheels but that's all I found on them. Help appreciated in advance.

I just put on a set of Chrome ASA AR1 18x7.5 et38 with 215/35/18. I wanted a chrome wheel and something that I wouldn't see on every other MINI in town.

Just got my new wheels, what do you think? They are OZ Ultraleggeras 17x7, and BFG KDW'2 215/45-17. Saving 9 lbs per corner.

The new wheels look great, especially compared to the S-Lites - what a difference! I was originally looking at the super or ultra leggeras, but wanted chrome and was also looking for a wheel not seen too often (weight not a concern for me). Came up with these American Eagles and really like them.

Can anyone positively identify these rims?

I'm guessing ADR's M-Classic
http://www.1goldenapple.com/brand_de...finish&ino=216

or

HP Racing Evo's (now called Lightning)
http://www.hpracing.com/product.phtml?p=61&cat_key=1

Thanks in advance.

Correct-a-mundo.

The pics of those are both in a 5 lug, so picture them with 8 holes. The HP wheels have a thicker spoke because of the 8 hole pattern, but they still look good.

Look thru this whole thread, take your time, and you'll find pics of both on MINIs.

Love those M-Classics. They look great in black, too.

Good luck,

[[[S]]]

Looks sharp! Silvering out the side skirts and other pieces really changes the look of your Mini. It also could be the angle of the shot. Whatever it is it looks good!
