Powder coating is a much less expensive way to go... not all of us have the cash you guys do

 

Here are my wheels, they are Gram Lights 57 Pro in Gunmetal. The tires are Kumho Ecsta MX 215 45 17, and after I saw Misfits car, and I had the same tires I had to put on the lettering. They weigh about 17lbs not the lightest, but not bad.

 

Wow PinkPanther... those are awesome. Looks sooo good on your car, and the painted lettering is the icing on the cake. Very nice.

 

Looks great PinkPanther. Gunmetal w/ your car color is the right combination.

 

Some guys just look for bargains and buy them used.

 

 

Hey...I like them tires you got there What kinda paint did you use? I tried several coats of industrial white wall paint but it still yellowed and eventually lifted at the edges when ever I got over 100 Finally, got tire of the maintance and removed it altogether. It's too bad because I REALLY like the letterings Let me know how your's hold up.

 

Hey Sid..Still have to tell you..Love the wheels!

 

Thanks Chris You mean the tires or the wheels?

 

I'm still waiting for them to wear off totally. I use titanium white paint.

Let me preface this. The 2003 Cooper S is my wifes car that I gave her for Christmas 2003. She just lets me drive it and work on it. She loves chrome balanced, we have been looking for a good set of chrome rims for the mini which appeares to be non existant. I bought the reaction rims because they have the deep dish look( and I needed a set of rims for the Falkens)But having them chromed is more than there worth. A little selfish for auto-X. I have a 66 fastback Mustang with Steel 14x9s Cragars which shine profusley. She would like the same Bling.There ain't a lot of chrome out there for the mini. Konig,5zigenand & rotas.Anybody know of others.

Thanks Mike

 

Here's an option, polished Centerline RPM's. Light weight (14 lbs), never shows the brake dust (the reason I got them) and looks like chrome.

 

Both of course!

 

since many of your guys already know me.

here is the new ones!
i think i'm gonna stick with these for a while.
The M replica is still at home, it will not fit my BBK so i have to change it!
here is comes the new Flick WASP in Purple! they should be Flik Wasp (anthracite), but the color is more purple than real anthracite.
it look kind of cool, maybe because i have never had or seen a purple color wheels. it is not that purple anyway.

time of these wheels expecting to be 10months!

 

Yo Chris!

What tire size you're running? 215/45? These wheels totally rock!..MAN! you really make me want one real bad.

 

215/40/18 Pirellllllllllllllllllllllllllli's

 

they are 215/45/17s, I'mstill testing the tires, so i have the Yokohama ES100 in the front and Toyo Proxes4 in the back.

I still have my old ES100 in my back seat now, did not want to use it. i want to see how toyo do in the rear since i have been had it for almost two month now.
running mismatch tires is a fun thing to do! yeah i know i have issues!
At this moment, I'm going for the toyos, they have been great. but ES100 has wider and flat profile which i am about to find out how good compare with toyos! one thing for sure is old es100 will make you spin like crazy when they go down on the tread. i had fun with my old es100 in the back doing drift parking!

 

Hey Rioman.

nice wheel.
look like you have the same wheels like MyPocketRocket.

I wish i could go for a bigger wheel or lower profile. too bad, the way i drive just will not allow me to have one!
Bad experience from Atlanta Roads!
Now we know why i went thru six sets of wheels in the past 10months right? (good excuse)

 

MyPocketRocket on has 17's right? My are the 18 bling bling

 

Great looking car with those wheels, Rio!

Yep! 18 is bling...bling

Mine are 17 only one bling.

 

You car looks tight MPR! The ride must be a slight bit more comforting on the kidneys!

 

Well just say the post and figured i'd throm in my cents. I'm running the Imagines and think they look awome

PS No i'm not running the colored BF Scorchers any more

Mike

 

blingers, are those ASA's? they look good!

The MINI center caps don't fit those? Have you tried?

 

They are .....correct Mini Caps don't fit...I like the look too much to base my wheels on center caps......

 

Weight saving with caps off!
