I dig the phone dials. I would like it if they had more holes, like a larger version of the 15" stock holies, tho...
Nice work hooking up the adapters. That really opens up some 5 lug wheel possibilities.

The main reason it looks better is that his car has been lowered ! Your 15's will look sweet too if your car was lowered that much

I've already got new Volks on order.....custom made...only ten sets in the country and mine will be the only ones on a MINI, so the BBS are for sale.
EDIT - I just showed my wife the pic of yours and she quipped 'your's looks stupid with 15's'.
BWAAHAHAHAA!! Now you know why I've got bigger ones on the way.

Well.. here they are, Axis TC Evo's in 18x7.5 with a 42 offset. I had to run a 5mm spacer on the fronts to clear the brakes... Tires are a Kumo ESCTA 215/35-18. Without bogging down this thread, click the link below for my Axis TC Evo folder in my gallery.. I initially didn't run the white (technically "reflective silver", but they look like reflective white to me) rim lip rings but I think I like it with them on.. it pulls in the white roof and stripes..
I'm debating on dropping the stripes..

Still think the BBS RZ look 100x better, but your testing of the 4 to 5 lug conversion will make you a super-star around here; even if I think your initial wheel choice is flawed.
I'm sure this is only the beginning of what we'll see on your ride.
