^are those 18" volks?

heres mine

 

the rust around my hub nut is kinda embarrassing

the look of the TE37 didn't exactly work on my car but on the pics below, they were A-OK.

here are other pics of MINIs with LE37/TE37 (i think i got these from NAM also)

 

When the OEM runflats ran out I put winter tires on my original wheels so I'd be forced to buy a whole new set of wheels/tires for the other three months of the year. Oh, darn!

It was not my intention nor desire to get such lightweight and spendy wheels, but that's how it ended up working out. I ordered everything from TireRack and then had it delivered to work just to mess with my coworkers. I'm now pothole paranoid, and I'm stating for the record that the first time I hit one and bend one of these wheels I will cry.

A huge thank you to Alex @ TireRack for getting everything shipped out crazy fast and then sending out a second set of center caps after the ones that were originally installed in the wheels weren't the right ones.

mrjasey, how much is your mini lowered and what size tires are you running? Car looks great!!!!

 

Those are HOT!! the car looks Awesome, I have had a set of These in Gloss Black in boxes in my garage for a while now, after looking at yours I think I need to try them on

 

Just got my Breytons from TireRack. They seem to may need rebalancing :(

 

Do you have a good installer locally your comfortable with?
If not whats your zipcode?

Sometimes weight will fall off in transit. We can cover a rebalance for you.

Please shoot me an email with your personal details and I can get the order noted accordingly. We can pre-approve $20 a wheel - have all 4 checked.

Could you get any better service than this??? =)

 

 

thanks, i really like how it looks too.

tire size is stock equivalent (205/45/17 i think). they were pretty inexpensive kumho all seasons that i figured i dont autox or track the car, so i just wanted something that could do daily driving routine for now. the car is lowered on megan racing coilovers with a little over 1 finger gap in the rear and about 1.5 finger gap in the front. i may raise the rear up slightly. no issues with speed bumps so far or scraping on anything.

 

Well worth any effort needed to rebalance. Those look really sharp on that car! Nice job!

Damn Nice! Kool shot of the group too!

Love this thread as it helps SO many people choose wheels. Glad this keeps rocking!

Any rubbing in the back. What offset?

My Mini is stock. Not lowered at all. I am running 215/45/17 Tires which fill out the wheel well a little better.

yeah i had 225s on my 16s before but i would rub on hard bumps. i went 205s for the cheap factor ($70 each). i may get more aggressive tires in the future though

 

Talking about widths momentarily. I run 235's on my dumped 09 MCS JCW and with very minor trimming in the front, I can't get it to rub. The relationship of tire width, offset and wheel width can make a HUGE difference in tire rubbing.

 

here are mine 205/40 r17

 

et45 and no rubbing here
