Your car is beautiful. Beware of pot-holes with that wheel/tire set-up.

Borbet LV4 16x7
Here are some pictures of my new Borbet LV4 16 inchers in Anthracite. Apologies for the lo-fi photo and the poor setting and the unwashed car; it was starting to snow. The tires are 195/55R-16 Continental ContiProContact SSR RunFlats. $1600 from Tirerack with the TPS and shipping. The car is a 2008 MCS. For others looking at these wheels, the anthracite color is pretty close to black.

Keano, RC's look great! I was just on the BBS site a few minutes back looking at those. They are 17x7.5 ET38 correct? Also, do have a side shot of you car? Thanks

@mods - not sure if its just me but there seems to be issues with this thread ? I cant view first unread no navigate to the last page - it just says page cant be displayed. Typing this Im on page #368 but the last page is listed as 374 ??? Glitch in the matrix ??

@ Bluetoy: They are RC323 which are 7.5J x 17 ET 35 with a CB of 70mm (Ive bought genuine BBS spigots for fitment to the mini. Not got a side shot atm but will get one for you. Note the wheels do need a refurb and Im thinking either anthracite or a really bright silver... cheers for your comments.

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing a profile shot of them. I think anthracite would look great on your Mini. Nice job as usual by the way

Wow they look really good. Do you know the weights and/or if they offer different offsets? I may have to really consider these now compared to the Tenzo Meister or RPF1.
