New Shoes





Just got these from Racing Edge. It takes a while for the gunmetal to grow on you, but I'm happy with the overall look of the rims and the tires. Oh yea... it's getting lowered!

It'd be nice to see these on a MINI. I've been looking for a 7-spoke wheel like this for a while. Actually, I've come accross them before, but they were either not listed for sale anywhere (Rota Vector) or obscenely expensive (Work Emotion XT7).

I know they're cast, but do you know how much they weigh?

I saw these in person at Mach V....they actually caught my eye and I asked Dan about them...the detailing in person is very nice and the color is unique. We looked it up...as I recall, they were in the 18lb range, but I could be remembering that wrong. Not superlight and not heavy either.

I actually wanted to get a set of these but jumped on a deal for BBS RV-F....can't have two sets of 7 spoke wheels. I'm interested to see how the color matches against the DS
