Well i'm just waiting to get my BBK from Moss :smile: in order to start the project on my MCS. I'll be placing pictures once everything is done.

Other mods i'll be installing on my MCS are Alta (reduction pulley, CAI and Exhaust) will submit pictures too...

Great choice of wheel


What color rim did you go with?

Actually i bougth the wheels in same place you bought yours (El monte, CA). Mine's are Bronze, they look very sweet.

 

Cool- can't wait to see pics- Good luck with your installs!

Well guys, the Gram Lights 57S wheels are already installed on my MCS.... I used Potenza RE750 215/40/17.... they look sweet.... I'm installing the BBK and Lowering springs during this week or the weekend. Will be submitting pictures soon.... :smile:

 

Last night I was working on the installation of the BBK.... they fit pretty well on the Gram Lights 57S without any effort . Now the last thing to do is the installation of the springs... maybe tonight... after that I will show you guys the pictures... have a great day.....

 

Here are some pictures of the car... hope you like it.....

 

Car looks great! Nice work (and great taste in wheels )

That is one mean looking project MINI.. I am thinking about the same wheels in white for my EBMCS. What is the offset? I want to possibly go with some suspension upgrades but do not want to have ANY rubbing? Are you having any rubbing?

Craig

 

i'll check the offset and no, i'm not having any rubbing problem using the M7 springs.

 

Did you need spacers for the Gram Lights w/ bbk? What size are those tires? Also any link to buying/finish info?

Thanks,
Patrick

 

I asked the same thing last week in another thread-the show your wheels one. Apparently, they fit without any. Lucky him!

 

Sorry guys for not reply before....

meanboy - Thank you for answer Mini-///M question.. appreciate....

Mini-///M - I didn't use any spacer to fit the BBK on the Gram Lights.... my tires are Potenza RE750 215/40/17

I bought the BBK in MOSS.... mines are anodize, but you can get them in gloss red, and black....check with MiniMania.com i think they have the BBK also.

 

Glad to assist...

It looks very nice with the wheels and bbk. Or as I like to say on occasion..

SWEEEEEET

Or THAT'S HOT!

 

I have Todd's Front Willwood kit already. No car (it's on a ship now though) but I want to find some wheels that I can use with the BBK and no spacers. I think the stoptech is bigger than the Willwoods so there shouldn't be a problem...

One other major thing I wanted was a tire width of at least 225. From the pics here it looks like those 7.5 width rims could handle 225's no problem. Real question is could they fit 225/40/17 Azenis RS's since those things run wide.

I know they fit on the front 17x7.5's on M coupes/roadsters... and they would be sweet on a lighter car!

Patrick

 

Can anyone tell me what the weight of the Gram Lights 57S are, especially the 16x7 size.

 

gclass,

very nice Mini!!! I'm about to order the Stoptech BBK too, just curious does that BBK fit into the factory 17" wheels (with spacers) and how does it compare to the stock brakes? TIA
