correct. 16x7 ET40 - custom made batch, as Rays only did these in 15x7 for a 4x100 application.

It's been a while since I've wandered through this thread - hats off to everyone for your work. The cars are beautiful! OTOH, I'm having to restrain my urge to start considering a new set of wheels for my car. UGH!

Ah, no wonder.
They didn't look like 15.

Great choice! Can't wait to see them on your car!

Thanks man!

I'm pretty sure they don't make them in that fitment, you'd probably have to special order them and that would be pimp.

keep in mind Rays can do custom sizes, but the minimum batch is 40 pieces, or ten sets.

no, a wholesaler I tracked down had an order in for those and I got the last set (he's a Honda guy). TeddyGP here on NAM has 17x7.5 CE28 TA's on his car, so someone else must have ordered 10 sets of those as well.

I'm not a big fan of the pepper white. But I gotta say with a black roof, stripes and wheels, it's a very classy looking Mini!!

It might look better if lowered. But with the JCW suspension on, this is as low as they can be.
