Haha yes that is a thorough answer. I was just wondering if the whole thing was a wheel or if it was like you said, a stainless steel cover over an existing wheel. It looks cool, I like it.

Rota slipstreams 16 x 7, ET40 with Michelin Crossclimates in 205/55/16.

 

visited some inlaws last weekend, they have a farm... (thus the dirt road/driveway and dirty tires )

since my last post, I've added stripes and I'm lowered (by Megan Coilovers)

your mini looks like a toy car in this picture looks great.

 

 

RPF1 + RE-71R 215/45R17. I quite like these, they look closer to 16" with the wide lip and straight sidewall.

 

3SDM 0.66 18x8.5 ET42. Custom full matte black finish.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225/40/18

 

Yeah, love the RPF1's ! Had them in 16x7 on my '06.

What specs are they.... 17x7's with 43et ?

 

Correct!

 

Work Kivami 18x7,5 et 31

 

5-lug conversion?!?

 

 

'04 R53 & '06 R52 JCW.......17" Motegi on both cars......

Bought my 06 JCW back in April and the former owner maintained/modified it nicely --- my tastes are much parallel to his and it was nice to have some good stuff already done.

It came with 16x7 Konig Feathers and I like them very much, but I've always liked the retro vibe of the Rota RB's so I will likely go with a set of those when new tire time comes which is very soon.

Only disadvantage to the RB's is several additional pounds per corner compared to the Konig.

Konig Feather = 13.9 lbs
Rota RB = 16.5 lbs

 

Motegi FF7's on my wife's R52s - wearing winters right now.

 

XXR 530's on my 06 S. I know they're not top end wheels, but boy do they look nice

 

I finally had a chance to mount the new wheels & tires over the weekend: Enkei TS-10s with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Wheels are 18"x8", tires are 215/40/18. The combo makes the tires appear a tad stretched, so I might opt for 225s next time.

 

My craigslist find this week - 17" 8-spoke wheels with pretty good tires from a 2008 S for only $400 (mounting and changing the sensors unfortunately cost a little more than anticipated but still, I love the end result)

 

Tires: 225/40/ZR18
Wheels: 18x8, BC Forged (HB09)

 

I see you live in Vegas, nice car.

 

Gotta 2012 MCS. How bad would the rubbing be with 17x8 +45 on 215/45/17. That's with stock suspension.

 

Koni FSD + OE spring (sport plus) + IE camber plates + Rota Titan 17x7,5 ET35 with 205/45 tyres
6 cm front gap, 5cm rear gap aproximatively.
