Hi Everyone...

About a week ago, I started looking for a set of 17" OZ Racing Superleggera WHITE wheels and someone gave me a number where I could get some. I called the place and low and behold they had em...:smile:

But I lost the number

Anyone know of a place where I can get them...please...?

Louay

I just bought 38mm offset BBS RGRs. I've been advised that I cannot lower my car w/o rubbing. What brand of lowering springs have you installed? Also, can you say a bit more about when/to what degree your wheels rub.

Thanks,

we have 17" RGRs on both of our project MINIs and both are slammed on the ground..one with the H&R Sport Coilovers and one with the H&R RSS Club Sport Coilovers...no rubbing issues...no spacers.

I have NOT lowered my car, but with the R90s (and slightly larger tires) I'm getting some rubbing as well...going fast over a bump or slow, but with a loaded car.

What did it was the tires. Stock is 205/45/17 and I put 215s
I think my next tires will 215 40 17 ... that should take care of the rubbing.

oh and btw...I found the number...but could you please pm me (or simply post) how much you can sell them for?

I would rather have an original" pair and be the first to use them, but at the right price anything is possible

I am running H&r springs and 205 45 17 Yokohamo Parade Spec 2. It rubs on the Outer Edge over Big bumps but bot to bad and the tires have scuff marks rather than cuts (If that makes sense).


I woudl be looking to get 1300 for them. But I am am negotiable
