They look great, Andy. Size and specs please.

 

Mr Slice,
Looks great. Nice color. I'm sure you will have many miles of great driving pleasure.

 

Thanks Mr. T,


Motegi Racing MR125 Matte Gray Wheels

17 x 7.5
4 x 100 bolt pattern
42mm Offset

16.2lbs my MINI Conical's where 17 x 7.0, 22.2lbs so a savings of 6lbs per corner


BF Goodrich Extreme Performance Rivals

215/45R - 17

Tires where the same weight as the stock run flats.

My suspension is stock.

Due to the wider rim and offset the new tires are just a little taller. I'd say less than a 1/4" and stick out about 1/2" further than stock. the ride is a million times better than the stock run flat conti's. Boy do they stick on the corners.


Got them at Tire Rack right in time for MINI's On Top.


Andy

 

He's not intimidated by my work colleague's new big scary truck!

 

I hate to brake it to you but he does look a little intimidated by how close to the side curb he is parked, as if he's scared in the little corner of the space . . .

Oh boy, when looking at that truck I can't help but feel: where does waste stops...?

 

I was there first! That's my door-ding avoidance spot!

 

With the height of his door, spiney, he's more likely to bust out your window than crease you door.

 

I knew that . . . I do the same when ever I can.
I was kidding based on your initial comment.
Put two eyes on the MINI looking down sideways and you get the feel of being terrified

 

If I could get him to get a lift kit maybe it would be high enough to clear the roof altogether!

 

Ha Ha!!

My luck I'd scrape a rim way before that BEAST would bump me...

What is that?? A diving board on the driver side??

Spiney you've got guts...

Andy

 

Nice Sunday run with Abarth.

 

Beautiful view, dosomething. Where are you?

 

Mr.T,
I was with a dear friend at Angeles Crest Hyw 2, near Mt.Wilson. We were there very early this morning (around 7am) before all the suicidal biker show up . It was very fun.
One more reason thing to be in Sunny Southern California.

Thank you Steven.
It is a perfect place to spend an early Sunday morning.
Happy motoring.

Folks, you've got to stop doing this . . . It's killing me here . . .

 

add insult to injury

 

haaa . . .

 

That's an epic picture right there. Nice shot.

 

I've been trying to accomplish this mod for some time now and I can finally claim success. I had the stock black brake ducts chromed. No, this isn't one for you "Black-Out" boys and girls but I feel it finishes off BUSTER's look nicely. Hopefully a manufacturer will see these and perhaps decide to start making them for the JCW trim. It would certainly save other people from the agony I suffered getting this mod accomplished.

 

Looks fantastic! I wonder how these would look behind my mesh lower grille....

 

Great job. I agree it is a nice finishing touch.

 

Really pop . . . great job

I didn't even know they were not producing chromed vents for the JCW!

 

You can get the chrome brake duct vents for the Justa and S trim lines but not the JCW.

 

That looks great Mr. T…especially with the black That had to be a pain, bravo!
