the R83 wheels look really nice in black

 

Here's my previous R50. I have an R53 now...

 

^thats one cool picture

 

More of my MINI. Finally got my wheels put on, but I've still got a lot of work to do to fit them properly...

 

Are those 15" wheels?

 

Great pictures Puma.

 

Now why dont you show everyone what you did to your R50?

lol

 

Thanks Kathy!

16x9 wrapped in 205/45/16 Falken 512.

 

if they want to see...

 

Wha wha wha whaaat?? Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do!

 

Puma, what size tires are you going to put those wheels? I didn't know you could fit a 9" wide wheel, curious to see how it works out.

 

He answered that a few posts above...

 

I thought maybe those were old tires or something. They are designed for a max wheel width of 7.5", they would seem to be unsafe on those wheels, IMHO.

 

at least no one is seriously injured,just curious what cause the mini to flip?

 

^^If I remember correctly he was dodging a rogue deer

Correct-omundo!

 

Ouch, looks a little too much like my indi blue justa, for comfort. I will have to watch out for those ruminants.

 

Where you been bruh? I havent seen you around school this semester.

 

To make up for my minor thread jack

New photo from yesterday. We were shooting a video with a couple of cars. I'll post the vid when its done but until then.....

 

Here's a phone pic of my R50.

 

Great picture !! Like your wheels.

 

This is a huge misconception on these boards. Stretched tires are not inherently unsafe. Safety issues arise if a car on (excessively) stretched tires is used for autocross or racing applications. Stretch, and especially more extreme uses of stretch (like mine), is mostly seen in the "Stance" scene where stretching skinnier tires over wider wheels is used to aid in fitting awkward-fitment wheels (like mine again). Unless I was to try and track my car on the current set-up, I won't face any safety issues. There was a thread on this that was recently closed due to misinformation. It was cleaned up and re-opened after the fallacies of stretch-tire safety were disproved by cold facts, but it needs to be said again that stretch tires, when used appropriately, are not unsafe.

That said, Firetruck - please don't take this post as an attack on you, mate. I just get really frustrated when people bring this up, especially when opinion is interjected as fact (again - not what you did, but it's been done many-a-time before). I just want to set the record straight here. Some people like the look, and others don't, but regardless of opinion there, stretch tires are not unsafe.

I've got a few more new pix that I'll post up later. I'm loving the new set up!

 

I think your wheels would look sweet with the appropriate sized tires, but not too excited the way they sit. I never heard of the "stance" scene, guess I'm not a fan. To each their own...
