Looks good.

 

Hello miniacs! Long time listener, first time caller from Norway.

I recently baught my first MCS and I'm now thinking about changing my wheels for the summer. I was thinking about Rotiform BLQs 8x17.
My question to you guys is: It seems that my only option is a offset of ET30. Will this work or will I get to much poke? I don't want it to poke to much because its not legal in my country...

 

Those will stick outside of the fender, if that is too much poke for you. I just installed 16x7.5 et 35 wheels and they are almost exactly flush with the fender, and yours would stick out about .4 inches further out than mine.

 

This is a 30 offset.........perfectly flush.

 

^^ whats the size of those wheels?
And have more pics?

Looks good!

 

Looking great!!

Went down to Neuspeed today to see jerry and pick up the brand new unreleased 18x7.5 Bronze RSe52's ….Sorry they are not mounted yet. Still waiting for the big brakes to arrive... Jerry's customer service is unmatched. He said he will release these wheels in a week or two to the public. So if you're interested give him a call @ 1 805 388 7171…

 

you sir, have my attention. what's the weight per wheel on those?

 

They weigh the same as the NM RSe07, just 18.5 Lbs… Not bad for an 18" rim..Plus it's TPMS ready and designed specifically for the Mini… So fitment is not an issue….

 

Well, those are now on my list. I had TPMS coded out, so that's a non-issue for me.

 

What's the typical wheel weight for various R56 wheels? Crowns?

 

All the info you want is here:

I really like those 530s. What size tire did you fit and what suspension modifications do you have. The et35 concerns me with my NM springs with fitment. Do you rub at all?

 

There and the console is were the thieves will look too.

 

Looking good!

Are you running spacers? It looks pretty flush.
My RSIIs are arriving in a week or so. I dunno if i need spacers or not.

 

Hey thanks man.

Yes I have 5mm spacers to clear the BBK.

Depending on how much you lower, it might rub the fenders a little on hard turns.

 

What tire size are you running?

Hello Rota RB wheel owners.

I would like to hear some feed-back on your wheels, please.

All good and bad comments; I don't track the Mini or auto cross I just drive it !

I like the look of the Konig Rewind but they don't make it in a 17" wheel.

Let me know, as you the owners know best . . . . .

That's how an R56 should look! Great job, Black!
