Something's definitely not right about painting the R90's like that.

Must be a mad ex-girlfriend who had too juch time on her hands and went and paint graffity on his wheels, that's why they're off the car, getting ready for strip and paint. I hope...

I found that out the 18"s start at $898.00 a rim Why do I always like the expensive rims

Oh by the way they can be found at Neez here in the US for those with $$$

Cool that there is a distributor in the USA. Miniacs have been asking where to get them.

Why do I always see that chrome gas cap on the coupes but not on convertibles? I have all the chrome packages inside and out on my car but I have a black door hiding my gas cap, can that chrome one be added on aftermarket?

I was told by a convertible owner that it's due to reduced space because of the folding top. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but Cooper Ses should have that chrome door regardless, but her MCSC does not.

very nicely done, dulfrinr!!!

are those Hankooks high quality? In the US, Hankooks are marketed like a
poorman's Kumho... from the pict, I first though you were running Pilot's.

looks great though!

After 1yr and 4 sets I've found my wheels!

Just finished the install of new JCW R105's to replace my anthracite R99's. The anthracites are great but just didn't seem right with the chrome line exterior.

Did you weigh the new JCW wheels? Haven't seen any specs on them yet, but am guessing that they are 20+ lbs.

I saw spec. of 21lbs on Mini2. They arrived with Dunlop RF's on them at just under 45lb; not so light but I was after the look.

Thx Passat. It took a while to find a set you haven't owned yet . Seriously, I appreciate your opinion given the wheel expert that you are.

Nice look, but just as heavy as the much maligned S-lites - 25 lbs. Definitely not a performance wheel.
