Don't ask me to sell her. I believe in ground clearance. My test is it has to be able to clear a big fat Ohio dead ground hog.

 

Just got my HR's in today, and am installing them tomorrow night. There is a diy on this forum that doesn't make it look too hard.

I've had my wheels and tires mounted for a week now, but didn't want to post pics in this thread because of the embarrassing wheel gap. I should have pics up after tomorrow night though.

 

Yours didn't come with covers?? I guess I won't really need them once the wheels are mounted. Though I could slip them on at night when I park lol.

Best visual mod for an r56 hands down.

 

yeah I didn't get the covers either! I'm guessing it's because I had mine shipped with tires mounted.

18's dropped on H&R springs. Springs had only been on 48hrs at this point so hasn't settled all the way.

Tires are toyo proxie 4's 205/40/18. Everyone seems to like toyo's for some reason, but this is my 3rd set and I am convinced that all toyo's trammel to the right.

 

NM Springs, Stock RF's

 

Looks great. You got any more pics?

 

 

aaronvb, very nice!

 

Thanks! Forgot to mention they're 17's

 

Anyone put the original Mini emblem in the center ?

Website says they are suppose to fit

 

I tried, and the way it clasps onto the wheel looked too different? I dunno, maybe I didn't try hard enough.

 

The MINI caps off my 17 webspokes are much smaller than the Breyton caps. Doesn't even come close to fitting.

 

Are they a PITA in cleaning from brake dusts?

 

Yeah, they are. Even dirt, bugs and there are some rock chips :(

 

is tirerack the only place to buy these?

they don't have them in 18" on their website

 

Not sure if any other companies sell it, but you can get the 18" if you search for 4x100 Breyton's without choosing a car. Or call them. They fit, but I'm not sure why Tire Rack doesn't list them as compatible.

 

They're not that hard to clean. A lot easier than the stock webspokes since there aren't a lot of curves that are impossible to reach behind. I just use a MF wash glove and use my hands to get around the tight parts.

 

anyone get them for less than $289 a 18" wheel ? and where ?

 

tirerack.com is their exclusive dealer here. you wont find them elsewhere.

 

18", tires are 215-35-R18 Khumo SPT










They´re good for off road use too:

 

Wow they look awesome on your MINI. It really matches your body color.

 

Thanks! I love them too!

 

Mine didn't work out as good as yours off-roading this last weekend.

need to really crank up on the hand brake in the car when parked on a hill. learned the hard way .
