When we bought Dr Evil a little over a year ago, we loved the S-Lites on him. But they were a little scuffed up. Then I painted the brake calipers, thinking they'd look great in red, to go along with the other red accents on the MINI. But with the S-Lites, you really couldn't see much of the calipers at all.
Solution... new wheels.
Before:
After:
I'm not done with those wheels yet. I'm going to put some new center caps on them as soon as they arrive from Aesthetic Creations. And I may or may not put some new valve stem caps on them (x 8).
I thought the two stems were for purging air when doing Nitrogen fill....
Right... for purging out the old air and filling with new stuff (Nitrogen). But I already had them filled with Nitrogen so in my case, in the event I want to go with that normal stuff.
And hey... I'm an OCDetailer. Don't worry, already have them waxed and Slicked. One of the reasons I bought these is because I find the thin spokes a lot easier to clean than those fat-spoked S-Lites... more room to work.
I'm sitting here all choked up after seeing the most beautiful sight in the world.
Who cares about the silly red brakes... Look at the garage full of beautiful MINI's.
CR&PW&JB your household is what I hope to be when I grow up.. for now your my HERO.
Looking very sexy with the new wheels. Do your neighbors think your crazy for having 3 minis?
They think I'm crazy for being outside on a Saturday and/or Sunday morning at 6:45, starting my weekend detailing routine !

Yeah, they are just chillin' in there... they love their home almost as much as being out on the road. ALMOST.
