Has anyone ever done/seen black REWINDS with red lip/pin stripe?

 

sorry...just saw this. I put them on a few weeks ago

 

i'd say don't go w/the red lip... the only reason is if my memory serves me correctly the red lip on those sportmaxx wheels is almost pinkish... like a red annodized alluminium color instead of deep red.

but as other's have said... if oyu like it... get it... dont worry about the fact that alot of other cars have it... chances are the only other mini's you would see with that combo MAY be at the dragon or amviv... other than those times u'd prob be unique in your area.

 

love it. i love Volk/Ray's rims. i have TE37s on my Mini, not the same color as yours, though

 

These are the top o' the line: 9 hours left from right now.

'ultra-rare' so rare, I had a set and sold them already. Those are available in 15x7 and 16x7 from Tire Rack and the questionable DIY rattle can paintjob is optional.

 

Are they the Rg-f s? They are listed by a JDM importer, so they are most likly a japanese version. Paint looks original. . . and the lip looks deeper than the stock rg-f s.

 

they are RG-F's. BBS makes all RG-F's in Japan, so 'JDM'. They are a 15x6.5....not the normal size we see here.

 

 

it's definitely not identical...the lip is different as is the center cap. that's not original paint - BBS finishes don't chip like that usually.

overall...still a good deal at the current bid price

 

Only vdub's are allowed to install wheels like that. Then, of course, they have to stick 165 width tires on them and slam it so bad that they can only drive on the smoothest of roads without rubbing

 

OOOOOoooohhhhhh. . . . I guess that's the first time I recognized that the 15" and 16" rg-f are so different.

15" has lip:


16" has much different spokes:



Strange. I wish the 16" looked like the 15". I really wanted that look in 16".

 

the offsets are different too, thus the lip.

 

Yea, but the 15" is et42 and the 16" is et35, so it should be the other way around. hmmm.

 

think about what you just said and get back to me

 

lower offset = more lip, or bolts deeper in the wheel. I am pretty confidant about that.

I guess it's just an effect of the curved spokes on the 15".

 

Are those TE37's 15in? How did you get them to fit with the JCW brakes?

 

TE37 Time Attacks - custom made 16x7's.

 

Where do you get them customed at and how long does it take to make them? Do you know the weight of the 16x7's? Thanks in advance.

 

12lbs. I got them through a wholesale distributor - he had a batch made up (minimum of ten sets) - 7 month wait. I don't believe any more are being made, but you can always ask. Dave at R&D Motorsports in Charleston, SC

 

how do you guys think they would look on a chili red/black mcs?

 

Terrible.

jkg, which are you referring to?

Check these out: Ray's evil type M - 18x7.5 4x100 et45 22lbs, flat blk/red lip

Like I said eariler... I had black rims with red lip on my car for well over a year.

I'm tempted to sell them now though since they are so common. I'm starting to see badly home-painted versions on Honda's around town. Ugh.

They look good though, there is no denying it.

 

Real nice JennB-

I've always liked your look, I think because you have a red top and mirrors. . . not so much black. . . And leave a little chrome for flavor.

 

Funny to see this thread come back to life. I just got my black/red wheels delivered today...as soon as I get tires and have everything mounted I'll take some pictures to share.
