I need to get some bigger spacers... and lower it a little bit more!

next mini will be a dark one with 16" wide *** wheels so I don't need spacers...

I love the "wide" style but I guess not on a yellow car

But thanks!

in 2 weeks I get those BBS LM's.... Dunno what to do with it hahaha

Thanks!!!

well.. I bought the LM's for a clubman I wanted but after that I descided to keep the Mellow yellow... and I must say that I am not really happy with LM's on my Hatch (on photoshops) so I will sell them here in the Netherlands as 4x100 18" is very unique!!

cheers

I love my LMs (pics in NAM garage) but have never seen the 4X100s in an 18" size, do you have any pics of the wheels themselves?

Agreed, Nate still has the best picture of what I'm running in his garage:

Knockoffs of wheels still in production makes me sad.

Nate's( now under new ownership) are quite beauties!

But, to each their own...it is sad to see such replicas being made...but those of us that are upset cannot control the situation...

Long Live the Real BBS's

Thanks, I need to get some new photos since they're just sitting in my kitchen right now. I polished them up andput a fresh coat of wax on them, I hope to get them back in this weekend now that winter's over.

But when the LM's were in 18" 4x 100 I would not buy the "fake" ones... but there are non so.... But they are for sale as we speak because I just fitted my R113's

I want a Ferrari but certainly can't afford it. Doesn't mean I paint it red and write Ferrari on the back of my mini

There are lots of good looking, affordable wheels, that AREN'T replicas out there
