hm... not so sure about the black to be honest... though if they are gold rims still with a green lip, that'd be pretty hot in my book

but its unique... and in the end, you have to live with it, don't listen to what others say... its your car! customize it the way YOU want!

so essentially, i just wasted 30 seconds of your lives....

 

Wow a brand new R56 and you already have suspension, brakes and wheels. Money must grow on trees for you.

 

Nice wheels, CX 808 Titanium Silver with Machined lip.

Post some daytime pictures. I saw a picture of those wheels in chrome on a MCS in a wheel book and thought they would look good great choice!

 

Great looking set of wheels Robino. Are those aftermarket wheel studs you have?

I wish I had a BBK....

 

yup...14mm studs/nuts

 

Oh, wait...this thread if for good looking tires?

 

I'm thinkin' about powder coatin' these bad boys in flat black! Whatdya think!?

 

NOOoooooo! Black wheels = may as well have steelies. (IMHO, YMMV, etc.)
A nice anthracite, maybe...

robino, nice wheels - are they as hard to keep clean as these?
(at BeaverRun for snow driver training...)

(the day before when they had tread)

 

I like black wheels but I think a silver lip adds contrast. I think your wheels would'nt look right all black but that's just me.

 

Hey, how did u get those jcw center caps? Can u email me how you got them. My email is zgross1@babson.edu

Thanks,
Zac

Man, I must say those wheels look awesome in gloss black. How much was it to get them painted? I was agonizing over Hamann, Hartge or AC Schnitzer wheels. (I went with ACS). It's cool to see them in black though. It would have been nice if the "bolts" were kept silver but I guess it would have been near impossible to pull off. Really nice wheels man!

 

yes- i was |--this close--| to getting the chrome ones, but then remembered it's all about easy maintenance. daytime pics coming soon!

 

Thanks! :D happy with them! :D

costs was about 200 euros for all four.. so that's not expensive...

about the bolts... I wanted them to be black because I think it'll look a bit TO much...

cheers

18"x 8 you say? any rubbing? did you use spacers? i just want to know how you made them fit right and what offset the wheels are. love the look.

 

Thanks!

It isn't rubbing but i did need some spacers.. 5MM spacers so that isn't very much..

These wheels are specially made for the mini so.. they fit! :D

WOOPS!! I checked the site... they're 7,5J insteed of 8J... sorry...
check the site :
I have the Hartge classic 7,5J x 18" with 225/35/18 conti's

cheers

yeah coen, that's not a bad price! out in the U.S., they are definately more. they look great though!

 

you know whats the offset on those wheels? very very sexy ! i'm wondering if i can run 225/35/18 with ET37 wheels~

 

That's Erics ride from Helix13. The car is his prototype car as he makes and sells a lot of parts that you might be interested in acquiring in the future. Basically his bussines is to be the first with goodies available for the restof us to enjoy!

 

That price is just for paint. Just making sure you didn't mistake it for the price on the set of wheels lol. Cause those are like $1800/set..

The Hartge Classics are a 48 offset. If you are going to run 225/35/18 tires Hartge recommends a 5mm spacer so that you don't rub. PM me for more details if you would like.
