NM Engineering RSe07 Wheel

i saw these the day after i ordered black 18" breyton gts-r mini wheels. if i saw them before, i think i might have bought these instead for my JCW. NM Eng. says they are nearly ready to release this new wheel.

NM Eng. says pictures of their wheel mounted on a mini are soon to be released also- next week i believe.

crazyaboutmini,
NM Eng shows only an 18, so i'd think that's it. but you can always email Jerry at NM and inquire otherwise.

I just picked up a set of Honda FIT rims. I believe that they are 1st gen ( 2007 - 2008 ). 15" for snow tires. Perfect center bore and bolt pattern. They clear the front brakes on my '03 S

Thanks. These wheels are really beautiful in person. I was torn between this and Breyton GTRS Mini but I definitely made the best choice. It's light too at 15.6 lbs.

That is right where I am, these or the Breyton's. Enkeis are lighter...big bonus there Will you mount them this weekend? Also, what rubber will you run. I'm leaning towards the Hankooks.

I'll try this weekend. It's gonna be busy as wife is going for business trip (3weeks) and left with 2 kids.

The tires will be Hankook Ventus V12 K110 in 205x45x17.

From S-Lites + GY Runflats, the total weight savings per corner will be about 12.5 lbs.
