Yea, I saw that but on the actual manufacturers site, it only lists from 07-on, so I was just wondering if anyone had seen these on a R53 or not.

Oh and btw, your BBS's look amazing!

Thanks, drsimmons. May be the first time "classy" has ever applied to me or something I own.

I'm looking for a extra set for my mini any recommended rims with the tires
I will keep the set that come with the new mini and change the new rims and tires depending on what road adventure I will be doing.
Any thoughts.
The new car will be 18 in road flats black rims white body countryman. Help

A different set for every month of the year would be nice. Just don't have the funds for that kind of playing.

I don't know about anybody else, but as soon as I buy a set of rims within a week or two I find another set I'd wished I had bought.

Never happy I guess.

Hyland - you wasted no time swapping out wheels! Nice, too!

Been trying to get a better pic - the PW kept washing out the exposure... This one’s a little better.

Went out last night - I'm liking how these wheels come to life in street lights.

Amazing
I think now I'm in for some design options, these photos just make it more confusing what to go with when taking my run flats off and dressing the car the way all of you have WOW
THANK YOU!
Question have you ever seen a smaller tire /rim in the front and a slight pitch larger in the rear
Maybe 15 or 16 in front comparing to 17 or 18 to the rear

It was $1200 for the wheels, tpms, and Yokohama s drives. And tire rack mounts and balances for free. That includes shipping too. It was $102 for shipping I believe

I'll add to that! Does anyone know of a tutorial to do that specific task? Believe it or not I've barely ever used photoshop. I've seen people post pics of wheels PS'd onto their cars but can't find a good way to do it.

If anyone wants to point me in the right direction that'd be much appreciated.

Axles for these are RIDICULOUS! Where are you sourcing them? Ive gone through a set due to torque output but 550 a piece is outrageous. I sourced some used for half that...
