bionictcoopermini i got the same color as in the pic i posted i didnt know you could get a different colored lip. i thought it would still look cool on a pure silver and black. just something a lil different.
These are on my 72 Mini, the are from Classic MotorWorks, at 4.5lbs each. On my MINI is just the stock 'Sidewalk' Edition wheels, wonder how heavy they are???
18x7.5 PIAA FR-S. I'm not sure if it's the picture or the lighting or THE PAINT JOB , but every now and then, they look off to me as well!
Damn, those wheels look really good. I love the wide open 5-spoke look. At slow speeds (<35mph), the wheels look like they're moving slower than the car, which makes the wheels look even bigger... maybe I'm crazy but you have to be there to see it.
I like the slotted rotors in there, too. Nice touch, good lines. Black calipers would contrast a bit more and make the rotors jump out, but that's personal preference.

Yeah, i agree, those would look sweet. I didn't know if they came with a different colored lip or not. Post pics when you get em on!

4.5 lbs?????
i always wonder if there's even a 15 that's close to that weight...
looks awesome... not many classics seen on this thread
Well with the massive 10x6' tires, the tire/wheel combo weighs in at 17lbs, compared to the original 13" weighing 30lbs. So by changing, I lost 13lbs per corner, and on the classic that is huge!
I usually tell people that I upgraded to 25's ................ then oh! you thought I meant 25inch? No I mean 25cm.

Thanks for the compliments. I couldn't agree more! I guess that's why I bought them!
