That's perfect!

 

I may be biased but this is prefect!

 

Had these on for a couple of months. Just put on some new rubber.

 

You don't like the red inserts that go with the wheels?

 

Tried both the red and the chrome trim, both were too much. The SS Stud/Screw is just enough. I did modify the trim cap with the MINI logo.

 

I kinda like the Gunmetal wheels with the BRG and white. Still need to black out the beltline. Opinions? These are cheap-O eBay wheels from MB Motoring. Weapon 16x7, 38 offset IIRC. $400.00 shipped to me for the set of 4.

 

Nice looking vehicle. What did you use on the handles and the side marker?

 

Blends well. Checkered spoiler?

 

Thanks! The door handles are carbon fiber covers, and the side marker are MINI Blackline lights in black Justa scuttles.

 

Thanks! My rear spoiler has a checkered flag vinyl decal. Kinda hard to see because of the angle.



Not much, but a little better angle...

 

Just put the wheels on my wife's car, they are STR 17x9+20mm wrapped in 235/40r17. With no rubbing. I would like to say that I know that there is a lot of confusion about wheels and tires out there, but after seeing the 235/40's on the car, I am confident that with stock suspension (my wife does not want to lower nor raise her car. She drives it daily on terrible streets), one could easily fit 235/45's on with out any rubbing issues.

 

gatorbait your wife's wheel/tires look really undersized. 205/55r17 came stock on the Countryman and a 235/40r17 is about an inch and a half smaller. Your speedometer is going to be about 6% off so at 60mph she's doing ~64mph.

Just keep that in mind. Speeding tickets suck.

 

If you mean that she will be moving 60 mph and the speedo reading 64-65mph, then yes. We are fully aware. I believe you said it backwards though. I do appreciate you looking out for my well being by giving my wrong information.

I guess if I bought 17x8's you might :drool:

 

I did get that backwards but the intent to help was still genuine. Rims look nice and it's your ride. You don't need my internet approval.

 

Nothing special S-heavies on 215 rubber. I have not seen a Picture of a chili red R56 with these heavy weights so here it is. Btw. I did not see any fuel penalty but somehow I like how the steering wheel feels as it became a little heavy and not wobbly while driving.

 

Very oregional.

Those and the 15" holies are my favorite wheels. Nice!

So I was perusing old pages....I don't think anyone mentioned it, but are these not 16's AND 17's!? staggered? If so you just put them on backwards?

 

I just put on some bronze Konig Hyper Gramms. They are 17x8 et45 or 48, dont remember, and weigh about 16lbs each I think. I ended up wrapping them in 215/45 Michelin Pilot sport a/s 3 plus. I can post some pics tomorrow if you guys would like.

 

Post pics!

 

Yes, pics please!

 

You tire size is dead on, but do you have hubcentric rings on with those, cuz I read the center bore is 73.1. so im wondering how they fit? My mechanic told me to get rims that precisely fit everywhere without adding hardware (rings/spacers/lug adapters) to avoid vibration and getting the right offset to clear the brakes avoid rubbing the struts.


I cant find any wheels that are 4x100 in 17x8 with a 56.1 center bore that clears JCW BBK that is 16-17 lbs.
