21 lbs... heavy. I took one inside here and put it on a regular scale

in contrast i just shipped out a crown spoke, and it said 26

 

so my crown spoke are 26 lbs? I think I'm going to be stimulating the economy very soon!

 

well thats what the shipping reciept says... Mini2 says theyre 22.7.. So i dunno lol

I dont think a box would weigh 3 lbs tho

ive heard theyre somewhere in the middle..like 24-25ish

 

Sweet lookin ride you got there. Those wheels look nice with the paint.

 

I really like thowe wheels. What's the widest tires can I put on those?

 

probably a 215-225? (really depends on the brand..they vary pretty significantly) The rim is dead flush w the fender so its nice to have a little stretch on the tire so that it can still go up in there if need be

 

VERY nice!!

 

I'm thinking about buying those same exact wheels actually. They look great!
Where did you get your wheel arches painted? or did you order them from somewhere??

 

stock aero kit

 

Really good price!

 

Those look great! And for a decent price. Excellent snag!

 

My wife thinks I'm obssesed and she's right. I have been dying to get a new set of wheels for my ride the past couple of months, and I thought I was going to bumb up to 18's. I have been searching the web high and low trying to narrow down my picks, but I now I found what I like and I'm conviced by this web site NAM members that I should stick to 17's instead. But most of all I found myself going back to this particular forum (new rims on) and looking at Mr Iwashmy car at least 5 times a day. So that is it! I'm getting the Elbrus 104.

 

dooooooit the other elbrus rims dont look to shabby either

 

SWEET!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice wheels man!

 

Those just made your Mini look about 2x more aggressive! Nice job!

I also look forward to seeing you around Columbus sometime.

 

most definately. one of my main priorities this summer is to get out to some events and autox

 

those are amazing! wow it looks awesome, i've been looking for a set of new rims my self, one of my crown spokes got eaten by a pot hole too (curbed not bent tho) and i want a new set of rims for the summer. and those look amazing, im getting a set, thanks for finding them.

 

if you need one let me know! theyre at a good price

 

Do you think there will be any rubbing if I put 215/45/17 tires on them?

 

should be just fine if its not slammed

 

Just put the same wheels and a set of yokohama S-drives on Wednesday. Drove them down to the Helenblitz event yesterday. I agree with a previous post, they really add a good deal of aggressiveness to the look if my Clubman.

 

pics!!!!!!!

 

alrighty i have a few questions that im hoping to be asnwered.

1) how much would you be selling the crown spoke for? the dealer and repair shops want $150 to repair the curbed rim and thats way too much.

2) the elbrus rims are 17x7.5 and our crown spokes are 17x7 and have a 205/45/r17 tire on it, does anyone know what size can be put on the elbrus? i was hoping to go for a wider tire like a 215/45/R17. can it be done safely?

i noticed how the lip of your tire iwashmycar was decently wider than the tire and that wouldnt be good for me being in New england with all the pot holes and such, would putting a 215mm tire on there close the gap? i was also hoping to gain some width for grip.

im looking at tires and i looking at the Falken FK-452 and on the site it says that the approved rim for the 215 is between 7.0 and 8.0 inches wide, but could i go to a 225mm? the aproved rim is 7.0 and 8.5? or is that too big?

this is the first time i'd be doing anything like this so im quite new to the whole rim and tire matching.
-thanks

 

id say the 215 would be just fine on them. Id get tires with the 'rim protector' lips on them. Dont know how else to describe them lol. These stock tires dont have them however...theyd cover that right up.

ill PM you about a rim
