I really like the deep lip on the ADR M-Sport and M-Classic. However, I've only seen this on the generic photos on various websites. I have not seen the actual wheel that would fit on a Mini. My question is, do these wheels still have the deep lip once the correct offset is chosen for a Mini?

I've seen the Haman deep lip wheel and it's nice, but I prefer a mesh style. Attached are the two ADR wheels.

 

i don't think the lips were that deep on the ADR's for FF cars.

between those two, i would go with the classic for sure.

 

I personally like the M-sport, but both look good.
Here is the someone's MINI with M-sport at M2:



BTW, here is the setup (directly cut-n-paste from M2):
lip ET43 close

COLOR
Hyper Silver (polished lip)

SPECIFICATIONS
18x7.5 ET43 24.8lb (11.3kg)

 

Dude where do you get those in a 4x100? Do you know how much they are? Those look sick!

Thanks for the input and the photo. The M-Sport looks good on a Mini, although it doesn't have that deep lip look that I want. Any other suggestions for deep lip wheels other than the Hamann?

 

Sport Max 006

I will try and find pictures

 

you can't really get deep lipped wheels for the MINI....our required offset is too high. Your best bet is to find some wheels with the offset in the high 30's...but even then the lip will be kinda tiny.

 

try AXIS wheels, they are a bit more aggressive!!

 

Don't know if Axis fits. The Seven Mod did not fit the MINI. So I went with Motegi FF7 They have a decent lip while still dealing with the front drive. 38 mm offset w/ deeper x factor than other wheels. Here's a few different angled pics....

 

thats weird cuz a little over a year ago Vince at AXis tried sellin' me on that 7MOD wheel he did say it would fit a MINI!?!?!

 

Well, now you have me wondering if my memory is failing me. (it wouldn't be the first time ) Maybe it was just my aftermarket brake clearance issue that was the problem.

I'll see if I can find out.



EDIT: Joker, you are right. I guess I am on crack. They are available in the 4x100 bolt pattern with a 42 mm offset. It must've been my car's brake clearance issue. Man, I am getting old....I'm losin' my head.

 

Hey JCW! What size are those, 18x7.5? Silver or Gunmetal?

 

yea its wat i thought, back then AXiS had tha deepest 'flat lip' design... next to HAMANN 2piece wheels........

 

How does the Hamman wheel get away with such a deep lip? AFAIK it is still a normal offset for Mini...

 

its 8 inches wide....

and part of it is just your perception....kinda like a trick
