Attachment 11152Hi all,

I thought I would share a couple photos of my little night train.

 

Are those even C2's? I think those are the C4 (not the multi-piece)... What offset would I need to run 19s? And what about tire size?

 

What's up with this car in the photo below?
I am not one that keeps up on new Minis, so forgive me if that car is something new that I should know about.
One wiper is very sweet.

 

I'm not so sure what you mean. Its one of the pre-05 Coopers heavily modified and its in japan. Nothing new.

I have no idea which wheel it actually is....i just knew it was a C(some number)

 

Onasled, its a conversion kit where you use one large wiper instead of two, a friend of mine with a Jetta has it. Might save you half a pound on the track!

 

Thanks for that info. Any idea where to get that?

 

No, but I just did a search for single wiper conversion and came up with a ton of sites, most for VW but I'm sure someone has others

 

Its a very "euro" mod and popular amongst the VW crowd. It doesnt JUST use a larger wiper....there is a kit so that it still covers the entire windshield in one swoop.

 

Those wheels are indeed C4's... wow I thought they were 18" C2's and they turned out to be 19" C4's lolol... I personally don't like the single wiper, although maybe its usefull at the track?? Any pics of SSR GT7-H?? I'm considering those wheels since their only $229 a piece in 18" at tirerack...

 

Thanks guys...
If you find anything on that wiper, please let me know..

 

Which is why I called it a conversion kit.

 

yah i knew you knew since you said you helped a buddy....i was just helping onasled understand a bit better

 

Also usually called DTM wiper or something along those lines.

 

I just got my Racing Hart (18" RH C3) back from the repair shop.

I got them painted black (inner spokes and inner lip) and machined (surface spokes and outside lip).

Now, I have to wait until Winter is over to put them on my MCS... So loooong!

*** On the pics, the RH center cap is missing... The cap is still machined. ***

 

those look AWESOME! do post pics when they are up

 

All that money on RH's and Hankook Tires !!!

BTW, nice wheels..

 

lol I got the tires with the wheels... The tires are brand new, so I'd be stupid to sell them for less than 1/2 the price... I'll just run those tires and get some Vredestein Ultrac after... I love Vreds!

 

Thanks

I sure will post pics as soon as I can put them on!

One of a kind RH wheels!

 

I'm searching for it right now. That is the first pic I have seen with a DTM "Aero" wiper installed on a Mini. I'm going to do this to the Mini as also my 3-series. Let me know what you find.

 

DarkMiniCooperS...those are some HOT wheels!!!

"Rex" just got his third pair of shoes!

18" JCW wheels (not sure the actual wheel number) - performance run flat
16" Kosei K1 (soon to be V710's)
16" Web spokes (winter X-ice)

 

I just do not understand they guy who had them first then Lots of money on cool rims and the rubber thatn connects you to the road is low quailty ...

 

D und W in Germany sells them for the Bimmer. I haven't checked for the Mini.

 

Looks like you hate Hankoon tires??

My brothers has Hankook tires on his A4 and it runs good... I had Dunlop SP9000, Vredestein Sportrac 1 & 2, Marshall, and Continental and I hate them all, except for Vredestein tires... Vred are awesome!

Hankook doesn't look that bad...

What about your experience with Hankook??

 

i have no experiences with Hankook, but Hamann partnerships with them, and promotes thier tires with Hamann rims.
