Rub schmub, if I was worried about that I would have bought a geo metro and cut the fenders off.

Which brings me to a good question. Is there an inner fender lip on our Mini's? I guess I could go outside and check but I'm too lazy.

Well the only issue with the front would be the actual fender liner itself. With the rear there is a half-inch lip that could cause a rubbing issue. But with the proper ride height / dampering and spacing you could get almost anything to work.

It took me almost 2 years to make my decisions on my mods and build and the guys (experts) in NAM definately helped

Those look nice.

I would be worried about the offset though. I've been waiting 6 months for PANASPORT to make me a set of FS16's in gloss black with a polished lip. They should look very similiar.

I know this is the wheels forum but someone was talking about angel eyes and I can't find the picture. Can someone help me? I think it was something Rallymini posted.

Did the price of the Kosei (sp?) K-1s go up? They're like $200 on TireRack, now, and I thought they were more along the lines of $150. Or maybe I'm thinking of Rotas...

i think the K1's were always around 200+ but never 150's...

i noticed that tirerack's starting to sell their other Kazera 5 spokes
in the ASA brand without the etching in the spokes. i think it looks
cleaner that way.

Aquido - you're a very complicated (confusing) guy.

Calm down there, obviously I'm not going to get a wheel where it sticks out of the fender 7 inches. I was merely stating that I liked the wheels.
