17" Team Dynamics / Potenzas !

It's been a while since I posted a picture of my car with a different set of wheels. Here it is with 205/50/17 Potenzas on 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1s!

Nice I've been planning on some Team Dynamics wheels in the future. Glad to hear you like them.

Yeah I am planning on getting those same wheels for my CR/B S once I save up some more money. Probably be my spring wheels once the weather turns good again.

Thanks for all the compliments! They are at an offset at 45, I believe. A little bit wider stance than stock.. I haven't lowered my car, but I do a some slight rubbing if i hit a bump too hard. I guess it's the 205/50 tires plus the adjusted offset. Some have said it doesn't make my car look 'cute' anymore, but I didn't get it to look cute, I got it to handle. :D

Hey Rune,

Looks Great!!! I see you are in the SF Bay Area. Did you get the wheels from Jacques at Bay Bridge Motors? I'm on my way over there now to order the same wheels, in white though.
See Ya!

the black wheels make it look like it's levitating

Why'd you choose a taller-than-stock tire size?

Hey Jim! Yes, I bought them from Jacques over there at BBM. He's a great guy.. He installed my H-sport rear sway and those wheels. Took about a week or so for them to come in last November (from purchase to install, maybe two business weeks), and I think they're bedded in now.. I'll probably do more of my business with him, seeing as he's on the only performance MINI guy in the area that I know of. Ah well.

I was going to get 205/45, but Jacques recommended I get a slightly taller tire, since it would cushion it a little bit more (Mine's a daily driver, with crappy east bay roads, ugh). He said he recommends the Potenzas in 205/50 to all his customers (the MINI ones). It is softer, but of course I'm comparing it to my boat anchors with runflats. I was originally going to get 205/45 Bridgestone KDW2s.. Maybe next, we'll see.

Thanks for posting those pictures! I have a LY/B car and I've been wondering how the black Team Dynamics would look.
