I don't see R2 in the back what happened?

Yeah, very interesting wheels. They must be a breeze to clean.

Thanks!

Hey Ryan,

I use Eagle One, here's the link to the website:
http://www.eagleone.com/_products/1,2082625.asp

Are you in Berkeley yet? Or are you waiting until August? Just checking when you can help me take out the front reflectors. Let me know.

I know, I know Big Brakes in front (eventually) and Cross Drilled/Vented in the back. But funds are going to some Coilovers to lower it for the summer and then raise it back up for the Stock rims in the winter.

As for the Wheels, they are 14lbs each and if you go with 15's they are only 11lbs!!

these r by far the nicest rims ive seen on a mini, my favorite... but they will cost about 1500 w/o tires!!!!!! i cant afford these!!!

anoyne know a similar rim for a cheapr price, or anyone that wants to sell these?

these look similar (but not nearly as clean and nice) and are only 135 a piece... does tire rack do packages?

Moss MINI has them for around $1600

Brembo Brakes is possibly the best and most expensive around $2600.

Or I may go with the Rotor kit MUCH LESS money but not "big" enought to fill the rim, but looks better anyhow for $1000 less

I think AP Racing has a break kit for the mini, not sure on the cost, i thought is was around $1000 to $1500, not as large as the brembo's but close to it. You can also buy all of the piece seperately so you can find a rotor and caliper that will fit inside your wheels. Nice option if you can't fit brembo's and can't fit spacers due wheel offsets/size of wheel and/or tire. Hope this helps, -bk
