what do the holes do?

 

a quick one from yesterday, while the car was somewhat clean

 

what wheels are those b/c they look good!

 

Just 18's but I'd prefer 17's, but i couldnt pass these up. $125 for all for wheels, and tires, and they're not reps

 

Of course they look good! They're BBS LM's if they're real (no centercaps, can't tell). If not they're probably Rotas or something generic.

 

$125!! You must have been like the cat that got the cream

 

yeah i felt pretty lucky, I just needed new tires, cause one had a bubble in it, and one had wire showing through haha

 

Awesome deal........looks good.

 

After debating which to get for a long time, saw Altuu's post on his konigs and liked the shape immediately.



Ordered them in opal/polished from Discount Tire in 18x7.5, 45 et and got the new Ventus Evo in 215-40-18. This is the tire that was second only to the Dunlop star spec in the C&D test. Weight is exactly the same as the flame spokes with RFs. I like the spokes as they are sorta like the Black Jack sunroof thing and the color goes great with the car. Now I have to do the brake rotor hats and calipers, or persuade the spousal unit that I should do the JCW factory Brembo upgrade.
I also like the way the spokes sit inboard of the polished lip.

Just had these installed last week. Hard trying to find a proper wheel to match a GP with all the colors on car. But, these wheels from Konig seem to work well.

looking nice!


so how much do you want to sell the gp wheels for...?

 

Hi Dan,
Do you have any pics of the silver or steel gray MC's on a black mini?

 

Those wheels look awesome on the GP the red trim makes it look factory, much better than the stock GP wheels IMO

 

GP's looks great with black wheels like that - yours is no exception!

 

 

Here's a better shot of mine: Sportmax 962 with Kumho Ecsta AST 205/45/17

 

The GP wheels are stay put for now. Pittsburgh area just isnt very nice to rims, especially after winter.

Thanks for the kudos on the rim choice! I'm not much into the shiny pieces on most cars. But, looking at everyone elses rides here gives me an itching to get another MINI to personalize a little more thourghly.
Seeing everyones car's here and at club events makes me really enjoy the MINI community!

 

Your car and I have the same name; my car isn't named Rippy, but my nickname is.
How did you come to the name Rippy?

 

These wheels look great on a GP! Keeps the GP look but adds some flair!

 

any pics of these wheels on a R53?

 

Team D Race 1.2 17x7, Khomo 215 45 17".

Love my Club and my wheels.

 

^had the same wheels on my Lotus...no complaints here :D

 

Just seemed to fit the little car, ripping through traffic, ripping around corners; kinda like a little kid is "rippy" when he's bouncing off the walls.

 

just got these in today, but the car is still in the stop (blew the bst cable and a safety harness from a pothole... )
