When in doubt, Choose the burrito

They look terrific Doug.!!!!!
They work well w/ the white roof and EB body color :smile:

Congratz :smile:

Peace,

Outstanding looking! I think this is one of the nicest looking set-ups I've seen. Did you get the 37mm or 42mm offset, and do you have aftermarket springs?

Randy

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cool:

bravo! do i dare ask how much those set you back, I'd love to get a set of 18 inch gun metal grey ones for my DS/W.

Blake

I purchased them from a VW guy and he never mounted them on the car so they are NEW (You can't get the White anymore from what I have been told). With wheels and tires everything ran me $1400 bucks.

I am running a 37mm offset and they do rub in the rear do to the fact I am running H&R springs, but the look is awesome. I will be doing a little triming tomorrow morning. :smile:

Thanks for the compliments

doug looks great

do u notice an overall diameter diff since u went to 40 series instead of oem 45?

Red,
My bad I have 205.45.17's.

oh ok thanks

how do u like the spec 2?

i was going to get them..but they dont come in 215 for my 8 inch wide wheels..ended up wtih es100s

I like them so far. The true test will come when I drive to Philly on Monday (3 hour drive) and spend 3 days working in and around that area.

ok doug..keep us updated

also is the tires rubbing?

Rotate ever 3 k for the least road noise with Spec 2

Alex

Doug - EXCELLENT setup! I'm really happy with my Parada Spec 2's - the thought of switching them off for winter is not cool...

doug...
the car looks wicked!
i've been waiting to see the pics for a while now! hehehe
you and dandp have the best looking white wheels i've seen! :grin:

Lookin good! Those OZ's are one of my favorite wheels. I've never seen them in white. Looks awesome on your mini! :smile:

your mcs looks stunning! WOW Now we can say EB's are not only the fastest, but the best dressed too. :smile:

Nice looking wheels. Esp. good with the EB/W combo. How's the ride?

Thanks for the compliments everyone :smile:

Dandp,
We need to get together for a phot shoot!!

red03miniS,
Yes they rub since I am running a 37mm offset. the tire is melting the plastic of the fender liner. I wore them down pretty good yesterday driving around Philladelphia with me and a co worker.

I hasve to trim the fender liners when I get back home

The ride is very good, much softer than the runflats (as has been said before).

doug - fall photo shoot with 2 shades of blue sounds good to me...gotta do it before we go to snows!!!
