I have a DS/BLK MCS and would like to get opinions on both the fit and look on the black Flik Bullet-C 17x7 ET 42 with Falken Ziex Ze-512 215/40R17 tires. I plan on using H-Sport springs which will lower the car Approx. 1". I would also like to hear from anyone who has used thses tires for a while. Thanks for the feedback!

 

Those are some sweet looking wheels

 

I was hoping someone would have a pic with them on a Mini...I like them even more now that I have seen them on the car!

 

Awesome wheels. I like them on the CR/blk MINI, but I'm not sure they'd look good on all color combos. What color is your MINI?

 

SoCalMini - take twomini's picture, save it on your harddisk, open it with a picture/paint software and change it to grayscale. There's your gray with black top simluation. :smile:

That red mc's wheels look like either 18's or 19's though.

 

SoCalMini,
You should be fine. The Falkens are good street/performance tires for less money. Not as good performance/track/autocross as the Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G3 or Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-03 but much less expensive.

Look at that nice picture posted by TwOMINIs
See there is a bonnet scoop but the side marker light is orange and the gas cap cover is red.
MCS or MC?
Here are more pictures-


Nice MC with aerokit and big brake kit.

 

Here's a quick Photochopped version to give you an idea what it might look like:

It's dark silver with the black top.

 

Thanks for the photoshop work...that did help! also answered another indecision I had ...anthracite or black. I think I like the color seperation the black will give, not to mention the brake dust being much less obvious!
Do you think with that offset and 215/40's they will fit well?

 

42mm offset is what i use on my SSR comps...so yes, 215/40 should fit
just fine.

btw, that pict shows a very agressive drop....your car with 17's
and just a H-sport lowering will not be anything close to that pict. :smile:

should look pretty sharp though.

 

Where are you planning to get your wheels? I have a DS/B MCS and that is a great look! I have been on the fence WRT wheels, but the more I read how heavy the S-lites/runflat combo is, I think they may soon be on my shopping list.

Nice wheels. I like that red Mini!!!

 

won't be as extreme as the red mini, but still should be more aggresive looking and acting than the stock with run flats!.....the only place I have found to buy the Fliks rims from is www.edgeracing.com if anyone knows of another place I would love to see a price comparison. The whole line of Fliks look real nice and are reasonably priced.
