    Mini cooper 16's!

    As the title says my new rims! I am thinking of going gunmetal (if someone could photoshop them for me that would be amazing)! I am not leaving the mini in the center I am having something custom done!

        Check with your local dealers, you can usually get SMOKING deals on pull offs. I've paid $400 for a full set plus 1 (5 wheels/tires) from a Mini deal, for the 15s. I've had them give me wheels, becuase there was a paint scratch on it. We use to run them on my friend's rally car. I think he bought a set of the 17s for around $150 each. And it's hard to buy a tire with better balance than a oem one, they get the pick of the tire litter.

          Clint I think you may have known the guy I bought them from he lives in Milwaukee (West Allis) and said he had a friend that had the same ones on his zx2! Yes I am going to need a spacer for the rears! It rubs just a very little bit so I am getting some little 10mm!

          Thanks Jack, Only $75 for all 4 of them they were dirty as heck though when I got them and have some light curb rash, The silver grew on me as soon as I got all 4 of them on there!

          I tried the dealer originally they were quite amused and told me they sold them on ebay to watch there! I found mine on Craigslist actually! I am not going OEM for tire because these had run flats! Any non run flats suggestions!

          New pics!




          I cleaned them up really well and put all 4 on when I got home from work so I can clean my fanblades really nice tomorrow because I need to run them for a couple of weeks well I decide what tires to run and paint these (silver again) and Yes I know I need to fix my fender the new one is getting painted next week or 2 hopefully!
