Just so you don't have to go back 20 pages to find black TRD/PR1 wheels

Offset is 37. A bit risky for high-stress driving (ie. auto-x, track), imho.

Ro_Ja LT5's in Bronze

I love this color combo....bronze wheels look great on a black cooper. The checker flag mirrors and the lower grille really add to the car too.

I just ordered a set of the Ro-Ja LT5s so it's nice to see good a photo of them on a MINI.

Poor pics, but at least it's a picture...








Replaced my OZ Superleggera's with these. This is probably my 6th or 7th set over the years. I like the anthracite on most cars, but didn't think it would look right on the Pure Silver. This color isn't ideal either, but oh well...

17x7.5" SSR Comp wheels
215/40/17 Kumho MX tires
H&R Springs

No, I'm not going to use centercaps, although I'll probably replace the front axle nuts with some less corroded ones in the future. The stud conversion is new as well and came from Turner Motorsports. They were a ***** to install since the hex end is small and kept stripping. I finally resorted to putting two lugnuts on a stud (tightenend against each other) so I could get them tightened into the hub.

I want 'em! I've been looking forever for the right set of wheels. Was going to get the Kosei K1 Racing 17x7.5, but not now.

another pic, you can see the wheels change color depending on the light, sometimes they are more 'gold' while on other occasions they look more like 'gun-metal'... Bronze rules

those wheels are hot on your car ... of course heavy breakdust will give it another dimension as well.

anyone have similar pics of bronze on a Chili Red?
