You think these XXR wheels will clear a brembo grand turismo frt brake kit?

Thanks
kerry

 

Not sure which kit that is. If yer talkin' about an R55-57 JCW Brembo's, I've yet to see any 16 fit over the front brakes, just 17's.

 

I just ordered these for my mini. I'm getting 4mm and 5mm spacers with the wheels as well. Hope the spacers will make the wheels work with the brembo's.

 

Look back you newbees ok. NEEZ 18" Eurocrosses pics posted in the this forum like 2 years ago.

 

I can't decide between 16s or 17s. Anyone have any pics of an r56 running 16s with a nice drop? I've been searching nam for hours but i can't find one!!

 

I've got 16's on my lowered second gen. I'm moving up to 17's next spring though.

 

running 16's as well.

 

It looks good. Quick question, per your picture, I think only front fog lamps are turned on how did you make it? or am I missing a basic concept?

 

Turn on parking lights, flip on fog lights.

 

Thanks guys. They look good!

 

Lowered MINI's on NAM? hahaha

 

R56s running aftermarket 16s with a lowered stance, actually yeah!

 

mark,

thanks for the scoop, got it today...decided on not selling my car after all, but no worries, ill keep it in stock just in case...
i checked my paypal and saw that I bought the standard black cooper spoiler from you before too...
any word on either the same standard cooper or cooper s spoiler?

 

16's

 

Just your basic R 90s.

 

mmmm love RG-F's

 

^^^^^^
I'd say that's anything but basic, looks sweet!

 

nice chili_mini

anyone running lm reps? specifically the miro's? im thinkin of pickin up a set in 17's, ive heard mixed feelings...lot of people are unhappy on the vw forums...curious to see if anyone has em here

 

Thats because everything is played out on the VW forums. They could be real LM's and they would still cry and moan and be unhappy.

 

It probably has to do with the low quality and finish of replica wheels.

 

very nice guys, loved the ones that are lowered great stance for sure!!!

 

Just painted my calipers behind my Rota RBs...

 

true, but
1. cant afford lm's, but like the look.
2. need feedback from someone who has reps, and if they say its bad for real, then yeah reps are not the way to go. im not really all that excited about them, but the price is good and if the quality is there, then it makes sense...

true about the vw forums, they do whine about a lot, i thought this forum was bad but they're really really nittpicky

 

 

I wasn't saying you shouldn't get them. I was just explaining why they get a bad rap over on the VW forums. Wheels mean a lot to VW owners, so they want the best from their wheels. They'd rather save for real BBS rather than settling for a lower quality version from a company that steals designs.

I can tell from quite a few feet away when a wheel is a rep based on the quality. Are they super bad? No. Are they worse than the real wheels? Most definitely. Are they gonna break right away? No. Are they weaker than the real wheels? Certainly.
