man i'm not even sure true baller can even begin to describe the serious pimpin that is going on over in 20C4S's neck of the woods. Great job, got to love the army issue hummer h1 in the background. What kind of wheels are those, and what size? They look great! Keep up the good work, I too am curious as to where you got the painting done, been thinking about painting the arches but I've had too many bad experiences with body shops.

Just realize that those are KINESIS wheels, do I dare ask how much they costs? I have a buddy with some on his 993 turbo and if I can remember correctly they are very, very, very pricey.

Thought it was a turbo at first but w/o the big reds it's an S. Also after taking a closer look, it had the "s" badge on the trunk/hatch.

thanks guys.
i'm gonna answer some questions here, if i miss anything please let me know.

the Cayanne is mom's ride. figured that she doesn't need 450hp (can't let her out run my 996TT), so that just a S.

as for the wheels, they are in fact Kinesis. size is 18" but with reversed center it looks like 19" (center piece is 19&quot. i've been thinking on a set of 17" just to give me better ride also less risk of bented rim, but i don't know yet.
however, my latest thought is a set of dark gold finished 5 spoke wheel, also Kinesis. i have a photoshoped photo at:
http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/s...;threadid=1423 (sorry, i don't know how to post pic here!)

5 posts down & u'll see the pic. tell me what u guys think because i'm ready to order them tomorrow

for the price on the wheels & tires, i don't want to remember it as long as they look good

thanks!

Does this mean you will be selling your k18 my latest thought is a set of dark gold finished 5 spoke wheel, also Kinesis? If so, PM with how much you were thinking about selling them for. It was thinking they were in the $4k+ range but I wasn't sure. Again, keep up the good work.

Blake,
is that u? were u the one who were interested in my another set of wheels?

i have a set of brand new wheels & tires (18", dark silver mesh finished) for sell for much cheaper than Kinesis. if anyone interested in them please e-mail me for pics:

arlingwang@mac.com

the reason for selling them is because they couldn't clear my huge Brembos

yep arling, it's me. I think your other wheels look great, but the Kinesis wheels are absolutely sick! Shoot me an email @ bmarvin@mac.com when you get a chance if you are interested in selling the k18's.

That's a great looking Mini, certainly one of the best ones I have seen. Can you please tell me how you did your tail-light mod. Did you have to replace the entire tail-light assembely or just the cover?

LSB,
don't like the gold wheel idea??

guys, take a close look in the photo. the space between the caliper & the wheel. i don't have much choice on the wheels (5mm spacer put on already)
