BBS LM come in 18", but you need to custom order them from BBS Japan wich spells money.

Ohh didn't know that, I stand corrected. Well the Works spell money too, roughly $650-700/wheel... But you're right.. Pure Sex.

Yeah you're right, Work ain't cheap by no means at all! Work VS-XX on a MINI is sweet, definitely one of my top choices if I had the cash!

As soon as I get the stud kit so I can put them on (hopefully, within couple of weeks), I will post some pix.

rota torque

Anyone have any pictures of 17X8 rota torque black on a silver mini? I am thinking of buying these so what offset +35 or +48? Will the +35 even fit?

Thats the replica of Works wheel right?
Rota's old website used to have a picture of mini with that wheel on i don't know what happend to it but it was looking pretty tight.

Well about the offset, +35 should be perfect.. Right to the fenders. PERFECT stance, it will be.. (I used to run 35 without any rubbings at all..)

yah...you REALLY need to run it at that ride height to make them look as good as they do on his car. It's hard to pull off such big wheels, but with a ride height like that they are absolutely stunning

What offset did you go with for the 7.5s?

Actually, I had lunch with him today. He used the H&R Coilover set at the lowest. I will try with my JCW suspension first to see how it looks.

Love the wheels. Actually had those on my Integra. I was hoping I would get to see what they looked like on a MINI, as I was looking into purchasing them... Your car looks awesome, but I think I like the OZ's a little better.

Good job, though

Rota Slipstreams anyone?

I know they're a decent cheap wheel, do they clear BBKs?

There lots of pics of slipstreams in this thread....just slowly read back until you find them.

Clearing the brakes depends on size and offset.
