Anyone interested in getting a set? 18X8 if we order 3 or more sets we can get 4 lug with any offset we want. PM me and I can get pricing.



These remind me the BBS CH wheels.

 

wats the price?

 

2nd on that... if the price is right... i want them too!

can we get any color we want?

 

Let me talk to my connection and I can let you know about pricing and colors. I'll post tomorrow. Quick question what is the best offset to get?

 

I say 38~42mm is the best offset for stock / lowered minis

 

38 might rub. probably best 42-48mm

 

i don't think so... i think HRE uses like a 38 or so offset with their 18x8's... let me look through my e-mails and see if i can find it...

well i couldn't find it.. but i do remember d6-mcs ran 17x9s in the rear with a 35 offset and he was dropped with no rubbing.. so i think an 18x8 with a 38-42 offset should be fine... only one way to find out though..

 

Thanks for the replies regarding the offset.........I'll have a chat with my connection and get back to you guys.

Cheers!

 

i LOVE these wheels!!! i'd be interested in 17" if possible. i live in NY and travel frequently to NJ, and the roads around here are horrendous. 18s would just be crazy. let me know, thanks!

 

one vote for 42-45mm offset... my subzeros are 45mm and they still look awesome, just the right amount of tuck under the wheelwell

if they can be made into 17 then im defenitely on board... and if they can make a gunmetal... i'd have my money ready for you!

 

I like but only for the right price

 

Update:

The wheels will cost $750.00 and they will be Hyper Silver like the pix. They will be hub centric so no rings needed. Unfortunately they only come in 18X8's. Deposits will be required and it will take several months since they will be custom ordered to fit the Mini with the correct offset. I was told ordering the wheels now would be a good idea since it is slow time of the year. If we can get deposits in by next week orders will be placed ASAP.

Who's in?

 

How much do you mean by 'deposit' ?

 

several months ?

Is that since they are still in China or Korea? They will proably arrive in blanks here in the US were you can shave the offset and drill the bolt pattern.. And make them hubcentric which is nice

 

Here's mine, ROTA FORMEL 17x8 4x100 not sure about the offset, but it sits flush to the arches. And YES, I do rub since I have 215's 40's




I think the Mesh type is one of the best for the MINI.

 

Rota is located in philippines i think...

 

I think you are correct.. Same factory as Konig !

 

They are in the Philippines. http://www.rotawheels.com/about.shtml

 

Is the price for 4? What if we would want a fifth?

 

Wait, so if you run 215's you rub?? I thought you can run 215's and have no issues with rubbing, unless you have some ridiculous offset. I was gonna get 215's with a et45 offset and was assuming I would be ok but now I'm doubting myself

I would have to find out if a fifth wheel can be bought.

The deposit would be $200.00.

Yes, they are located in the Philippines.

I am going to start a list so PM if you are in and we can get the process started.

 

Steve,
I rub only on deep dips. I replaced the lower control arm to an adjustable one. I had it aligned and corrected the camber right after lowering the car. I had the camber adjusted to about -1.50 against the -1.70 that the mechanic recomended. by doing this it brings the top part of the tire out and the lower in. I guess I have to live with the rubbing (which is not often) rather than have the wheels slanted like I'm hauling bricks.

he's running 215/45, which is larger than the stock 215/40 on all OEM 18s....

 

I dont think you're right about that, here's his description again for you....

My guess would be that he rubs because either the offset is not correct or his adjustable control arms are pushing his tires too far out....just my $.02

Ok so there is interest
