trade you. those are the wheels i was looking for. i had never actually seen them except for in my head, but those would have been perfect.
to bad i dont have the funds for work wheels.

 

does anyone know if there's a R90 in 18"?

CJ

 

Apologies in advance for baaaaaaaaaaaad pix........

Rota Slipstreams - 16x7 et40 w/ 205/45-16 TR1s - I actually weighed each tire/wheel before mounting them - just a hair under 31.5 lbs per.

 

Personally, i think your current wheels look a hell of a lot better and more ... well .. subtle ... as well as agressive

 

took a little step backwards ... ditched my Flik Wasps as they were ... well ... let's just say not suitable for rough NYC roads ... and went with S lites on the MC ... gained a little weight, but they sure feel more strong.

 

Nice wheels!

 

lowered on H&R springs on stock S-lites soon after I bought the car:



then came 15X6.5 Rota Circuit 8s with 205/50 Yoko AVSs



then some Rota Attack in Royal black w/polished lip found their way on the car (same sizes as the Circuit 8 setup)



and then I swapped the Attacks out for some 5-star alloys, this is how the car sits currently (ignore hastily applied wax on the doors )

 

hehe ... so you went with MC wheels on an MCS ... cool ... I really used to like your Circuit 8's on that BRG ... looked ace.

I just got tired of searching for new aftermarket wheels and all the good ones are pricey ... not playing that game anymore. I love the S lites on my MC ...

 

Many photos of my '05 MC in my gallery. Both pre and post bonnet stripes. There's even a photo of me standing next to Red 5. I am 6'2" and look HUGE standing next to my MINI. I add new photos regularly.
In October I am getting graphics applied to the roof, bonnet and sides.

Will,
Are you wearing socks and loafers with shorts while standing next to a cool car?

Hey, stop being mean!!

 

hehe ... I am 6'7" ... get a good laugh from people everytime I get out of the car ... feels like I am being "born"

 

GT-7s

 

Azev Type-M, soon to be replaced with SSR comps

 

Ace Arius (18lbs) with Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S (21.5lbs 215/45/17) on M7 springs with Alta rear bar and lower control arms. The pics don't do it justice, it was getting dark and the flash was used. At least she's clean, as evidenced by the rusty rotors... :smile:

Hi, you're in Calgary, I'm in Edmonton, I'd like to see your wheels.

I just found this topic and I'm wheel shopping right now and I can't stop drooling, this one really soaked my shirt, those are awesome looking wheels.

 

Very nice, I want 215/45-17 and now you convinced me, they look real good, I like that red car with those wheels.

 

WOW!!! Where did you get the chrome done? and how much, the last time I checked the cheapest I could find was $350 per wheels and those wheels are expensive to start with, I sure like that look.

Foldinghalo,
Love the wheels. Would you mind posting where you got them and the estimated cost???

Thanks!!!

 

Thanks, I ordered them from WheelMax.

Be warned... they don't use a standard valve stem. It's a smaller diameter metal valve. Which of course the local tire shop (here anyway) didn't carry so they couldn't replace it when they broke one while installing... don't get me started

 

Enkei J10 17"

 

Hey all, here are my flik wheels, I think the dark gunmetal with the dark silver look really good together, also notice the painted calipers, I think it's a nice touch...

 

311mini,
Ever think of getting a car other than silver??

 

I know me and the wife have a lot of silver, but it just looks the best to me...never really looks that dirty, I used to have a black car and keeping it clean was a nightmare. Actually with the mini, we were trying to find a blue one, but the only one that had what we were looking for was the silver, so silver it is...again...
