It was a major ordeal to get these wheels, but after two months it all came together. The center caps look really good when car is rolling, but yeah a little cheesy when just sitting. And I was forced to do 5mm spacers all the way around when I went to coilovers. You can never have too many wheels, next on my radar is a set of JCW R109's.

 

The centercaps detract from the concave(ish) profile of the wheel so I never fitted mine. Weird about having to run spacers - mine fit over the JCW Brembo's no problem even though I'm dropped on coilovers too. I just run spacers for abit of poke.

 

replica R90..

 

My god...the color and placement of your green stripe is insanely similar to my own.

Wish I had a good photo of the front. This one is heavily colorized, I'll have to post another one later sometime. But I honestly forget what brand of wheels I have... It's been a while, and I bought them 2nd-hand.

 

^What wheels are on the first green Mini? The one with the 'PE0 N6F' license plate.

 

They are 5Zigen ZR+520 18 x 7.5 in HyperGunMetallic

 

Mr. Silverblood, wow we almost have matching cars!! It's a stripe color that people either love or hate, but never thought I'd see another like it. Looks like your S on the back is green also

 

Here you go, Dave...

I know, right! Totally thought I'd be the only one with that color stripe on a BRG/B Mini S. So my Monstah has a younger brother now, very cool! If you lived nearby, I'd say lets meet up for a photo op. lol

You're right about the stripe (like it or hate it). When my graphics guy sent me the first shot of the mock up, I wasn't sure about it. Then later that week, he emailed me the finished product, and I was floored.







So now looking at it, it seems like your stripe is a deeper shade of that same green. BRG with a Black roof and that stripe color (either one) seems to do the car justice, IMO.

Sorry....it's a wheel thread, we temporarily hijacked it. But I do LOVE my wheels from the first picture I posted. The one above in this reply are the old stock ones, which are "meh". lol

 

I have a few more photos in the stripes thread at https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post2916476

My car actually has a BRG roof and yes stripe is a little deeper shade of green, so they are similar but still unique. I like the MONSTAH in the stripe, very sweet. Photo shoot would be tough as I see you live in Mass and I live in Missouri, or Misery as some locals refer to it! Well, great minds think alike!! LOL...

 

 

Gotta know what wheels

 

HOTNESS!!!!!

 

xxr 513 16x8et0

 

Beautiful!

Are those Tenzo Dc-5's?

 

That is correct.

 

Geez I wish I could fit 16's on a JCW!! They come in 17's by any chance? I'm not finding it.

 

1. no options outside of 15"/16"
2. the offset on these wheels will make it difficult for your average mini to fit well.

 

R98's

 

I hear ya. That's the kind of wheel to me that I'd work around. Classy, yet purpose built racy look, and the 8" width gives a great lip for look.

 

He's also running widened arches, so keep that in mind

 

another view so you can see how much wider the arches are:

 

That's cool, I still like the lip.

 

R98's are great looking stock wheels!

 

Thanks I like them at some point I might change them but for now they do the job
