Hey Boosted, didn't you have spokes before these? I may be thinking of someone else.

 

18" centerline rpm

 

Yeah I was on 5Zigens before that were a 6 spoke.

 

My winter wheels - powder coated with "V-twin black" by Eastwood.

 

very nice

 

Thanks aytch1. Now I don’t mind throwing them on in the winter.

 

18" Breyton GTS-Rs on 215/40s

 

John Cooper Works 18" R113 with Pirelli 205/40R-18 run-flat tires

 

Love the 18’s on a straight Cooper!

 

I think 18s are too big.. but whatever works.. one more from me for today

 

Here's a pic I took quickyesterday of my car with the 18" konig swurves with Kumho all season tires 215/35/18. Car is dropped on Megan Racing coilovers, once spring hits it's going lower to fill the wheel wells better.

 

Damnn, those things are intensee!

(I have no idea how you drive around Albany on 18s, hah)

 

That's too true but Troy is no better! I drive through both often and my arms are sore after dodging all the holes.

 

Need more pics!!!!

 

I think these wheels look way better in an 18" on my car. I just like the stance and look alot better.

 

Hah, this is also true! There are many times I'm driving around and it feels like I'm on a slalom course, I need a sticker that says "Caution: Stops for potholes"


But in the meantime, I did some tinkering in photoshop, I change my mind on this every day, some days I love it, some days I hate it, I'm thinking about testing this out with some Plasti-dip before making any permanent decisions...

 

I love gold on BRG. But then you'd need gold trim too!

 

Or... body color headlight rings, grille surround. And black out the door handles, gas cap and belt line. Just a thought.

 

that and get the roof wrapped in the dry carbon vinyl The gold and green is always a winning combo

 

That is a great looking MINI - the black and tan just SMOKES!!! And the 18's definitely work.

 

These were fitted to my dooper clubbie today...

 

Motegi 17x7.5 MR125s with Toyo R1Rs in 235/40. +42 offset, puts the tire right at the fender. And if you look close - i swapped out the center cap for some custom caps i made at work, did the whole "black jack" union jack thing...

^jesus meaty tires.

With the offset and tire you cant go much lower if you got coils, youll hit the strut.

With a 17x7.5 +43 225/45 I was hitting the strut with the tires when on coils, on springs I was fine.

To put that wheel at the fender you want a +35 in the front and +30 in the rear. That will make you flush.

 

Yeah i figured when i get coils (getting adjustable lower control arms first, than coils) i'll be able to adjust with spacers if needed. My current setup has about 3/8" between the tire and the shock body.
