Crap. It figures. I buy a set of R98's and then these come out.






Stupid Murphy and his Laws. Someone get these and post pics of them on your car.

 

Wanna sell your R98's? PM me!

 

Thats Purrrrrdie

 

 

^What are those?^

 

16 x 7.5 Sport edition cd silver. I like them. The paint was a bit too fake looking at first but I'm happy. They're on sale for $82 at tire rack. Can't beat it for an extra set. The MINI wheelcap stickers really made it for me

 

Nissan 350z?? I couldn't find it in his gallery.

Herman, are you hiding a Fairlady in that garage of yours?

 

yeah, i realized after i looked through his gallery again, no Z....darn it. Hmmm...i wonder...

 

no, i kinda wish that i do though!

back on the thread for the third time! or whatever time it is already... but re-introducing new boots to my Ashy:



17x7 PIAA Sportmesh

looking probably to put on some 5mm spacers when the Azenis i have no die

 

They arrived! And go on Friday!!!

 

NICE!!!!

 

Wow, nice find on those wheels, I can't wait to see them on your mini. Make sure to post some pics of them once they are on your mini! They look really nice. P.S. where did you get them?

 

Thanks! I've actually got Ireland fixed -1.25° camber plates installed. Not sure if that actually reduces any tire-to-hard-point clearances, but I everything works fine with 'em the way they are. The only problem I'm having now is that the speedo's pretty optimistic. I thought it was going to be pretty close, but it reads at least 10% fast. :(

 

Nice, Sheebs! I guess Armen's not so bad, after all. Looks like it's time to get that photoshoot together, eh?

 

Yes! We should. Josh would drool over that too.

 

Whadayathink? A lift kit or do I start hacking away at the wheels wells??

 

I thnk you need spacers for those. 15" spacers.

 

Wheels on...15" spacers, cut the top off, and put some horses in the front=...Mini Chariot

 

Got my new summer shoes Keskin Kt4 17X8

 

I'm so jealous, I'm slowly saving up for a set. What offset did you go with, what size tires? And more importantly, how much space do you have from the suspension components?

 

Yokohama AVID w4s 205/40/17 et35 really wanted 30et but I was in a rush nothing a spacer cant fix I know what your thinking Wake 18x8.5 me too but not enough space to clear suspension components. But I really gotta say RUNFLATS SUCK the ride quality,well at least to me is night and day so much more enjoyable. Might have to get some coilovers the M7 springs aren't convincing me too much well have to see how they settle in

 

That actually looks kinda cool.

 

Bit off topic, but why do the american cars have the lil red and yellow lights on the wheel arches, and across the pond in the land of oz, we don't have them?

 

I finally got a camera and took some pictures last night. It's my first camera so I'm not sure if I resized them correctly. It's been two weeks since it's been washed--the wheels show it more than anything else.
Wheels are 17x7.5, ET40. Tires are 215/40.

 

when will we see a lifted mini with bigger wheels, that runs down the street
