Your site looks very Pro to me !

Yea same here not enough to quit the day job but fun regardless.

 

Sooper Cooper: Really love the look, but that Astro Black really looks, or has alot of Blue in it. Not that the blue is bad, my hotrod is Kona Blue, but much more blue than my Midnight Black that my JCW is.

 

Thanks! It's easy these days with sites like Smugmug and Zenfolio. Great sites for online portfolios.

True, that's what I love about AB. In just the right light you can see the blue. Driving down the street at night it looks totally black.
Not long after I bought mine the replaced it with midnight black. I really like the new JCW red on black theme. Looks great.

 

Red on Black, that's what I got. Take a look at my signature, you'll see. I got carried away with the Red and Black, even on the seats. Think that I'll be going with the Glossy Black with the polished wheel lip. The Black Challenge wheels that I have now have, almost too much black. Going to save those for my winter wheel/tire combination.

 

Dan, you might already have some pics of mine from when you first installed them, but here's a newer one after lowering and adding MINI center caps.

 

SooperCooper: That was you that put the Rota RB's on the JCW, right? Thought so. What did you do about the wheel spacers on the front? Did you go with the 8 mm or the 15 mm?

 

Looks great!

I'm using the 15mm up front to clear the front calipers and so that my tires clear my KW coil overs on the inside. I also think the 8mm was just too close. It cleared but you were lucky to get a sheet of paper in between the two!

So for me the 15mm is the right size. No problems and looks great.

 

Looks great in silver too! Any other pics? Now im torn between the silver and hyper blacks".

 

Where did you get the Mini center caps?

 

Where did you get the center caps?

 

I think Aesthetic Creations, but now I can't remember for sure. MOTD last year.

Are they a direct fit for the RB's or did they have to be special ordered?
Thanks

 

Not sure, I got them at MOTD, they had several sizes. These are slightly smaller than stock though.

 

Would you mind measuring yours? I would like to order a set and hopefully have them and the wheels arrive at the same time (sorry for the many questions....)

 

 

The black look great with the yellow. What size rims and tires?

 

17x7.5" Rota RB. I think the tires are 215/45R17.

I love the picture! Flog that car!

Anyone know if it is possible to put 16 RBs over JCW brakes, haven't acquired either yet just planning ahead? Likely will also need to use the 15MM spacer that sooper cooper needed.

 

They will NOT fit, no matter how big of a spacer you use.

Hi Dan…recently took ownership of a 2011 Countryman All 4 S. (February)
Have 17" R/Flats on Tunnel Spokes. I will use those for winter and am looking for a set of 19" wheels with non R/Flats performance tires.
I know it's early in the program..was wondering if you offer anything yet in that size. The only wheel found to date that's of interest is the 19 RSE14 in gunmetal. Sizes are 19x8..offset +45mm able to run 225 or 235/40/19.
I have the Cosmic Blue w/White Top. Looking for a wheel brighten up the lower half of the vehicle as I have the chrome package. The Hyper Black's caught my eye as well as the silvers. Thanks in advance for your time.

 

We do offer those wheels, HERE. They look really good, I think. They also happen to be one of the only wheels (so far) that'll fit that car. The combination of the 5x120 bolt pattern, the large center bore, and the large diameter but relatively narrow wheels mean that wheels for other cars (3-series BMWs, say) will not fit.
