Cuz Kal is a pimp!

Here is mine lookin 4x4 compared to Kalvins car.

 

Yeah....but look at those small ugly brakes

 

i called ksportusa.com told them that the coilovers were not droppin the MINI enough, so they redid the rears and came up with this



so... now im tuckin

 

gimme a month and i'll have the BBK on there.


btw brian i think we should put ur rims on my car too see how they look.

 

Anyone with 18s having any rubbing issues?

I just ordered some 18x7.5" wheels with 38 offset and 215/35R18 tires. I was warned by Tirerack that they might rub though.

 

damn 38? mine are 18x8 with a 40mm and no rubbing at all.

 

Yeah, I just ordered the 18x7.5" ASA AR1's. Will I be fine with the stock lug bolts/nuts?

 

+1

 

That looks like a GP rear wing. Where did you get that?

 

Just curious, did you guys put on the stearing adjustment (stop) with the 18 wheels? I know the JCW wheel come with it... and is there a DIY installation instructions for it?

 

I didnt put the stops on mine and dont see a need for it since I dont rub anywhere. I know th egp has them, you can tell they are there when you turn the wheel to lock its solid!

The GP wing...well I paid way too much and even then it wasnt easy to get.

 

 

HERES ANOTHER ONE

 

SORRY HAD TO POST MY FIERO TOO HAHAHA

 

LAST ONE I PROMISS

 

Hey thanks jeffc, CarFreak!, and 70spop

 

In my mind Wagnbat's Pypez takes 1st price. Sweet, sweet look man.

 

Someone knows which 18" rim is the lightest one?

 

215/35/18 Yokohama Parada SpecII

 

Ooooo! That looks nice.

 

For 18" rims most about about 20-23 pounds each. Light rims cost alot more to make and still be relatively strong. Forged wheels tend to be light and strong.

From tirerack.com
Kazera KZ-V 18x7" Silver with machined lip $149 each 18.5 lbs et +45mm

From edgeracing.com
5Zigen Fn01r-c 18x7.5" Silver/HyperBlack/Matt Black/Bronze $222 each 18.5 lbs et +43mm
Enkei Rpm2 18x7.5" HyperBlack $239 each 18.9 lbs et +45mm

Other rims
Volk Racing 18x7.5" White or Bronze 17 lbs et +40mm
Centerline 18x7" RPM,Storm, or Excel about 17-18 pounds et +42mm

Many 18" rims don't come in the 4x100 bolt size for the MINI.

 

I just picked up some Palo Uber forged 18's and they weighed in on my house scale at 17lbs flat. Pics are in my gallery.

 

SSR GT7's are forged and light (and if you hurry and buy a set from Tirerack) they are also cheap!

18x7.5" weigh roughly 17.5 lbs. and cost $199 each

 

 

Anyone have Team Dynamics pro race 1.2 -18"
I want to know the size of rims. Is it 18x7.5 or 18x8?
Also, I want to know size of tires too. Which one is the best looking?
I want to get one, but I do not want to rub tires.

Thanks
