Nice 18" inch wheels, hows your ride quality?

 

Not the best pic in the world (iPhone5) but this is my winter set up

 

That green is blinding me, you'll be easily visible to other motorists!

 

That green is intense. You will stand out.

 

Yikes!!! Bright!!

 

They make me grin every time I see it in the parking lot they're way fun. Makes me feel like a high schooler. So that being said, I'm sure by the end of winter I will be more than ready for my summer wheels and tires again.

Full photo of vehicle posted at "What have you done to your mini today. I put a set of BMW M3 rims 17x7.5 mounting 205/40 R17 tires on an R50 using adapters. Girlfriend wanted something blue on the wheels so, I used blue lug nuts.

 

^^^^

 

Some borrowed Team Dynamics 1.2, 15mm spacer in front, 5 mm in rear. NM springs and koni yellows.

 

Actually a lot better than before. I have H&R Springs and it rode super hard with my stock wheels. The new wheels raised my wheel gap so probably gave the suspension more slack. Ride quality is a lot better. Probably will go a tad lower when I get coils.

 

Being that your mirrors, scoop and headlight rings are green, what color are your summer wheels? Do you change everything around?

 

Sparco Assetto Gara 16x7

 

Have you had any issues with rubbing anywhere? Because I was actually going to do the same set up and then I saw that you have done it too. Just with the gold wheels instead

 

17x7.5 Gline

 

Mounted new 17" OZ Formula4 HLT's this week.

 

Nice accenting wheels caps there

 

More pics and specs??

 

I wish I had more photos myself!

They're in storage for the season.

18x8 +32 offset.

 

Nice stock wheels

 

ah no worries, spec alone help, talked to the guys at CCW last week about some classic/4 and there are wanting to put me into a 17x8.5 and I keep thinking they will stick out to much for my taste, seeing your picture alone helps, may just go with a 17x8 with that same offset

 

It really depends on the finish, but since they're similar to the Classics I used to have, then they'll likely stick out for sure w/o proper camber adjustments.

If you're running JCW BBK or any BBK for that matter, you will have clearance issues with Classics. Not entirely sure about C/4's. I had to run 10mm spacers up front just to clear my StopTechs and that was the end of my run with the Classics, it just pushed my fronts too out and killed the ride.

Also, keep in mind that with 17's the faces will look smaller because of the design of the barrels in relation to the centers as well. Hence why I like the 18s look from CCW because they look so much better this way.

Also, if you go with the C/4's, get the Swiss finish where all the alternating hole are drilled, it's a waaaaay clearner look.

 

16" Panasport

 

My wheels 15x8 +25 tires are 195/50. Its great low and wide.

That is one beautiful roadster!!! Classy, black and silver. Those wheels really compliment the car. Great Choice! Really great choice.
