Very nice VoiD,


What size tires do you have on them? Any rubbing issues? I have 215-45-17's on the same size/offset and I'm getting a decent amount of rubbing on the rears when the suspension compresses... :(

I think I am going to stick to 17". I have RGR's on the mini right now and I love it. Plus, I barely drive the car so I don't have to be so concerned about really awful winter conditions since I wont be driving the car when the weather gets really nasty.
Another wheel I was considering is the Hamman P4G's. but I dont know if the width (7.5) is really a problem.

Wow. That's got to be the first 15" wheels that I've seen looks great on a mini.

DOn't get this the wrong way, but hose wheels remind me of the mugenpower wheels used in hondas.
Very nice.
thanks

Something that resembles the JCW wheels?

Does anyone know of anything in 17" that closely resembles the JCW wheels? The originals are just way out of my price range.

thanks!

yes, they look great. ZAMIREZ had the same ones in silver, if I am not mistaken, on his car some time ago and to this day I remember them as one of the best looking wheels on the MINI EVER!

nwmini those are the same rims ive been considering for my JB Mini. the only downside is that a BBK is essential. But minimal brake dust is def a plus. any more pics?

berk berk berk...there you go again.

you hate the younglings that turn Honda's into some tinkle toys to show
em off to his naked gf's. Teg-R's, NSX, S2000's are baaadass machines.
I wouldn't mind having a S2000's in my personal collection. FR's are fun.

back to wheels...
