Can't decide between these or the O.Z. superturismo's in black. If they made the Breyton in 17 with the red lip that would be the winner!!

oh really, yeah thats strange...maybe give them a call? I didn't buy tires yet because I won't be putting them on the car until after the snow. I'm going to ponder over tires during winter. I want to run 205/40/18 as apposed to 215/35/18 but there isn't much to choose from in the 40 profile.

If I go 40 probably yokohama S drives. In the 35 I was looking at BF KDW2s or the nangkang NS2s seem good for the price

There is plenty to choose from in the 215/40/18 but I'm not sure if they'd rub (my car is on stock suspension)

is anyone using these with 215/40/18 tires? or will they rub? I want to use a 40 series profile as opposed to a 35 but there isn't much selection in 205/40/18...

I am on my wife's, it sometimes rubs the rear wheel well on the inner plastic liner depends how you hit a bump. I'm on my second set of 215/40r18.

I am with no rubbing. I'm assuming everyone on this post has Breyton's.

Does anyone know of a touch up paint that matches the bright silver breytons? I barely scuffed the rim of mine and need to touch it up.

Great question. Mine are scuffed and scratched. Ugh.

This thread has definitely sold me on the GTS-R's!

@BlueToy: How did you get the Mini logos in the center caps? I know Mini sells just the decals, but they're 50mm dia., and the Breyton's are 68mm (I think). Your logos look like they fit perfectly.

I ordered the cap stickers from outmotoring.com I attached them directly to the Breyton caps. The Breyton cap is just slightly larger, but you couldn't really tell.

Where are these wheels, can't find them anywhere! Are my eyes playing tricks on me or are these a bluish gray?

You can find them at www.tirerack.com. The light in the room gave the wheel a bluish gray color. But they are silver and look great.

Ok it seems the white balanced gave them a blue/gray tint to them, decisions, decisions...

I'm liking the matte gray wheels, but on the other side of the coin I also like the silver wheels!
