It's funny. I posted on facebook if anyone could see the face on the Front headlight. No photoshop marks or anything. This is the original picture. If anyone wants to add me, Just search "Daniel Pohaku Osorno" on facebook. Maybe we could have a little Mini Cooper Drive somewhere. No Spam Intended.

 

ahhh.. so jealous... me want pics with wheels on car.... NOW!!!!!

 

got to admit, they fit and look great!!!

Just got my wheels back from the fabrication shop here in D-Town. 17X7 Flik Arctic with custom 10% Flat Black powder coat (a bit more matted than usual, already noticing that it picks up dust like no other).



More pics to follow. RIght now, I am in the process of:

waiting for my tires to arrive
Making custom center caps

At any rate, it feels good to have a bit more personalization to the ride again!

 

JayDeeMmmEP3, those look awesome! May I ask what rims those are?

 

those arent mine, it's another NAM member.
but those are Work's XD-9 if im not mistaken, 17x8.5 ..

 

Alright, here are a few pics of the new wheels:





I love the ride. The gap up front closed a bit more than this after I drove for a bit, so I am thinking that a bit of wheel gap is a small price to pay for this setup!

 

^ RJ, nice set-up, what size tire are you running?

 

Thanks Blue. I am running a 205/40-17 Kumho ASX. The tire is roughly the same diameter as the 205/50-15 iirc, which helps the gearing a bit. And to my surprise, those Flik Wheels are surprisingly light weight.

Someday, I will get some Works or something of that nature, but these wheels fit everything I wanted for the time being.

Waxed them today, really want warm temps in Mass so I can throw these on already.

 

cgaubuchon- i know what you mean man! i'm in upstate NY and waiting to get mine on. I'm actually spray painting mine orange with a white lip.

Nice wheels!

 

You are spaying OZs? That just sounds nuts to me if so considering their less than inexpensive cost.

 

OZ Wave - Just had them put on.

 

They look really nice. I also like the red calipers.

 

Thanks...Actually my wife picked out the wheels, since it's her Mini.

 

Very nice set of wheels! I had looked at those wheels when i was searching for mine, but didn't think they'd look good with my color scheme. These go perfectly.

..those look great on your MINI!

I've seen them listed on Tirerack & have been hoping someone would get them mounted up & post pics.

..what sz tires on them? ..& you are lowered a bit?
J

 

The tires are 215/45/17 and I installed H&R sport springs which lowers it a bit and the ride is no worse than the JCW springs.

 

Looks like someone already beat me to my Ridiculous Poke Idea

EDIT: Sorry wrong thread

 

I know these are BBS RS Knock Offs, But I must have these wheels. $600 + Free shipping!

I love em but only available in 20et.

 

Too many downsides to knockoffs, so ive heard, plus they wont look nearly as good as a real set id say wait save money and find a real set you will actually love.. thats what im doing

 

 

Just got these installed...what a difference Breyton 17" wrapped in Conti Extreme Contact DW
