Yeah, those wheels are keepers. They almost look like 18's. How much of a drop on that MINI?

I'm at 24" to the arch. Visually I would like a little more drop, rides the best right where it is now.

Concavity
This gives you an idea of the concavity of the GTS-R.

Hey guys,

Looking for any type of rim that represents the VMR 710s. Or any type of spoke pattern close to that. Originally I was going to get bolt pattern adapters, but I'd rather see what feed back I would get on here first.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced, Mike.

My feedback is that you start a thread asking your question instead of posting in a thread called "Show me your WHEELS!".
