lmao - I was gonna say...not all of us can get HRE's

This close >< to having me wheels...only about a week now

Edit: Not HRE's...lol

 

I think there may be potholes where youre from, maybe?

 

What size? Ive been running a set of ASA AR-1's for 3years and they seem bullet proof. I liked em so much I took em off the old car and put them on the new!

Rota Subzero's just installed! I'm officially S-Lite and Run flat free (and 30+ lbs lighter!)

 

In!



17x7 Konig Feather Black with 205/45/17 Falken Ziex912

Buy my flame spokes so I can put my springs on and lower the thing

 

You are not alone that love these looks

 

thats a nice DS stan!

 

Nice Stan, more pictures of your roof and stripes. Good shot by the semi.

 

R90's are definitely nice looking wheels.

everyone know i started out with R90's?

 

Your car looks great!! Are those the actual Mini wheels, or ASA's?

 

Oh most def ! But those same potholes are still around after the HRE's. Ive miss the ones i know about, but every now and then i hot a pothole on a unknown road and havent had a problem with the Forged wheels

 

Hey thats funny. I sold my old ASA-AR1's to a 1st generation Miata owner just like that one, only red.

 

Oh yea I know what you mean, I know everyone around my neighborhood but occasionaly a new one sinks and well yea you can't avoid what you don't know is there, especially when its dark

 

I thought this was a Mini site.

 

I thought it was something like that...
But...by paying BBS for rights...they are allowed to stamp their name on the inner lip???...I could get some pics if needed...but it was seriously stamped.

 

These are the R90 replica's and look verry simular to he org. R90.
but the look are better because the smaller et 40 ( org. et 48 )

 

Thanks, but I have no idea what you just said LOL! What brand; what does "et 40" mean, and where did you get them?

 

with a smaller ET means that the wheels are coming more outside,
how more bigger ET the wheels are more inside of the wheel arches

I found these by a local store here in Belgium.
but you can by it on Ebay;

FYI, I believe the link says ET45

 

 

the faux R90's also weigh much less... probably lose to 8-9 lbs less which
is a huge benefit.

the only reason why i sold my R90's were because they were just too
heavy for the car...especially for the brakes. then i went with the 16x7.5
SSR comps. they were nice. just got tired of the appearance after 2-3yrs.

 

i thought it was a MINI site.

 

I just swapped out my 18'' ASA AR1s for these 17'' BBS CVs. It rides smoother and they weigh less of course. Its kind of hard to get use to a thicker sidewall, but i now i need to get use to the smaller width. Theres just no winning.

 

Those look awesome, jt. Nicely done.

Are you rocking run-flats? I'm sure that it rides much nicer if you're not....?

 

thank you for the compliment. i am not sure if they are runflats or not. they are what came with the car but they don't say runflat. i had 2 different tire installers say they weren't. they are contis. but what i do know is they have a thicker sidewall and asorb the shock that my 18s couldn't. they also didn't have the tpms sensors either but i guess i have an older 07 r56.
