Anyone else running into a problem of not being able to find wheels in stock anywhere? I ordered a set last week and got a call 2 days later to be told no longer in stock checked a few sites and getting same results local and online

 

 

Schmidt TH Lines:
Front 8x17 et32 (1.5" lip) with 205/45/17 Falken Ziek 512's
Rear 8.5x17 et33 (2" lip) with 215-45-17 w/ Falken Ziek 512's

 

Did you have to change the studs or do anything special to get these bad boys mounted up?? Thanks in advance!

 

Just got my orange R90s back from powder coating and on the Clubvan today.

 

They look good!

 

Can anyone ID the manufacturer of these black babies.?

 

O.Z. Racing Superturismo LM

 

They look like Rota Blitz. Hard to get in the US, but not impossible. You just have to find a dealer in Europe willing to ship them here. Unless those were painted, they are probably the gunmetal version.

 

sweet ride! are those tail lights stock? if not, where did you get them?

 

Hey cool. The Gen 3 is growing on me - your's helps. Are those 18's? I motored with a Gen 3 last month and thought 17's looked oddly small - yours fill out nicely! Enjoy!

 

How can those be 17" inch wheels, unless your tires are a 205/35/17 and if so isn't your N18 quipped Mini Cooper S way too low to the ground?

Edit: the post and pictures of the wheels I was referring to is no longer there? Red N18 Mini Cooper S, weird!

 

Looks great, nice job.

 

Thanks!

 

Welcome.

 

17" Rota RB- y'all know the specs already! 205/40-17 tires. I modified the Rota center caps to accept the stock Mini caps- they don't stick out as far, which was my only complaint about the Rota wheels.

 

Nice and looooow. what was the offset on these wheels again? I still like the lip and your MINI center cap.

 

The RB's are a 17x7.5 with a +45mm offset. The tire just barely clears the fenders without any rubbing at full drop, and at ride height I can steer to full lock without any contact with the inner fender wells.

 

You'll want to put some wheel looks on those RB's or they will go by by. Trust me, I know from personal experience. And the stock Mini wheel lock tool doesn't clear the bolt hole.
