That's painful to see!
I read up on the factory wheel locks not fitting, so I've got studs and different locks on order. Until then I'm relying on dropping my car low enough to prevent fast removal, and ours and our neighbor's cameras to keep people honest... yeah, I'm adding locks asap!

 

Well, cheap lock and good neighborhood din't help me much. Looked like this before hand...

Now working on what to put on next. going to 17" with Michelin PSS. OZ Ultraleggera, OZ Alleggerita or Team Dynamics pro race 1.2 are my 3 top contenders at the moment. Going back and forth between the grey/anthracite and silver look.

Menzari 18 X 7.5 ET 45 with Continental Extreme DW 215/40ZR18, gloss black with lip paint matched to car.

 

Sactown! Who's you order the rotas from? How's the ride with 17's?

 

I ordered from A Spec in Hayward. They shipped same day and I received them the next.

I had run flats on the stock 16s, so my new tires are WAY smoother and quieter. Very happy with the result!

 

Rota Grid 17"

 

Nice set up.

 

enkei m52 wheels

 

Nice. Those look to be the hyper black finish. matches the car remarkably well.

Cheers, Kevin.

 

The Rotas had a bit too much of a "stock" look for me, so I just swapped them out for a set of JNC 032s:










Just BARELY clears everything- exactly the fit I was going for!

 

That looks great! Did you sell the Rotas already? I'm local and have been looking for some.

 

They're boxed up in my garage- PM sent!

 

XXR 530 Chromium Black. 17x7 +35.

 

Your tire and rim combo looks great, what offset are you having on those wheels and did you have to adjust camber for it not to rub?

Got the wheels off ebay and the Dunlop Star Specs from the Tire Rack

17x8 +35 Toptrue wheels in matt black with 235/40/17 ZIIs. They work pretty well for autocross. I think we will try Bridgestone RE71Rs for next year.

 

Dig those wheels. Just what I've been looking for!

 

$520 shipped for the set. They came with a little chrome center cap but I didn't use it.

 

What suspension? Also do you get any rubbing?

 

Koni FSDs with Eibach springs. The back rubbed very lightly on the outside a couple times only on the on ramp to the interstate. It was so light that it didnt even leave a mark on the tire. It never rubs during autocross and I definitely drive it hard.

 

Your car looks great, one of the sharpest looking Mini's that I've seen. Who makes the hood scoop your useing?

 

Thank you for the kind words. The scoop is from M7 Speed

 

Car looks even nicer in person. C
