Same, I thought it was an S. Those wheels work well with your paint and beautiful house btw! I believe those wheels only weigh in at only 16 lbs.

 

thanks all. but i can't take credit for the nice house - that's my parent's. i've read that the RSe05s are anywhere between 16 and 17 pounds. though i feel the difference more in steering performance going from a 5.5" to 7.5" inch wheel width. they are certainly going to be easier to clean than the stock 15" split 5 spokes. and by the way, in case anyone is considering replacement TPMS to go with their new wheels, I got a set from Amazon (Prime shipping too) for only $27 each (Orotec) and the Mini learned them immediately, with no action needed to initiate the learning. just as if they were regular valve stems.

After the bath!



Love the look of these new wheels... now if I want to keep them black or not... or the roof/mirrors white.. lol decisions decisions...

 

Sweet paint job, I'm start to like matt finishes. I would have the roof and mirror caps black if I were you, white stands out but doesn't match anything else. Are these 18"s?

 

They are 17's and that's actually All plasti-dip other than the roof/mirrors.. I think I'm going to dip them to match the wheels!

 

Love that orangey gold paint (well, plasti-dip)!

Here's mine, with new R112s.

 

SPARCO Tarmac 17x7 et 37 (stock is et 48 so it's like having 11 mm spacers ). 17 lbs each. More function than form. Not the "coolest" looking wheels but they work.

I like them- they look good with green.

 

Nice, we're also MINI twins.

 

R112 looks nice ! They also come in R112 Black.

 

Thanks! I debated going with black. I Think I'd have been happy with either one, really- always liked the R112s.

these wheels seem very popular with MINIs

 

I was in the market for some summer wheels for BUSTER. I couldn't help but notice that ECS Tuning was offering the R99 wheel at an incredible savings. I looked at many different wheel designs and alway came back to the R99. I think it is a much better design for BUSTER's personality. What do you think?

 

Those wheels go nicely with your black Mini!

 

I am so jealous of your car. Love the finish on those wheels and probably would have gone that route too had ECS posted that awesome sale before i got mine. Your interior is my all time favorite as well. Mine was off the lot and I was happy to have a non black leather (polar beige) but I would so much rather have the saddle tan like the Coupe's get. No idea why they didn't offer that color for the hatchbacks, as it would have suited my BRG so well.

 

Looks good. Nice choice.

 

Those R99 polished wheels do look awesome on the R59 . If you are looking for other great wheel deals and options see below.

We do have more wheels here:

Thanks

 

I think the last person to say it is right. The wheels need to match the mirror caps and roof. Otherwise it Just looks off balance. Sweet look though!

 

Thanks, I just recently blacked the entire car out lol... I plan on using it as the base coat when I drop my next color in a few months.

I love the R53's more than the R56, love that supercharger whine and instant power and love the bullet proof Triton engine!
