I ordered these mostly because budget and free shipping. Looks and weight were just gravy, 17lbs isn't "light" but it's lighter than my factory 16"s

 

A 17 inch wheel that's lighter than a factory 16 inch wheel is better than gravy. Looks also a big plus, and it's a very good looking wheel on a Mini. Excellent find and buy!

Thanks for that link.

I know 4 years has gone by, but where did you get those from, cant find dealer in US.

 

 

That's gonna be a hard ride!

Nice rim... what is it?

 

15X8 949 6UL ET36 11.6lbs

 

Nice and light! Stick some tires on em, though!

 

So 15s will fit?
Can't wait to see this with the tires on!

 

Only a few from what I've read. There's a decent amount of room between the caliper and the wheel with these. I'm almost 100% certain I'm going with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's. Just started ordering all the suspension parts yesterday.

 

Drew, wow budy those look great,in am going to wait and see how they will look on your r56.

Thx

2015 R61 S All4
Before:




After :


you cant tell from picture but the tires and wheels are flush with fenders. (No Skate board look)

 

That looks great... love the stance

 

So bought the 16x8 et33's and will be in next week,also installing the Megan euro II damper's next week
I like to get the car as low as possible but not a low rider not my thing just a great looking stance on R56.
Now the question what tiers do I go for not so much in with stretch but I like the wide look, I understand to get the stance I may have to sacrifice one for the other.
Thx
Ben

 

 

Been wanting to put something like these on since I bought her a little over a years ago.

Sparco Assetto Gara
Size: 17x7.5 (O.E. Diameter)
Finish: Black Painted
Weight: 18.5 lbs.
Offset: 48mm

I am planning on purchasing this wheels for my Mini.
What tire size should I go with?

205/17/45 or 215/17/45 ?

What lowering springs you guys recommend also if I go that route too.

 

205/45/17 are oem. The 215/45/17 have a taller side wall. The 215 will flex more in the corners. Lowering the car you may want the lower profile tires so there would be some wheel gap.
