The Breyton GTS-R is quickly becoming one of my favorite wheels. Looks great on your JCW!

Where were you able to find RE-11's in 205/50/16 ? They are not a listed size on the Bridgestone website or at Tirerack.
Thanks, Steve

Quadruple-thumbsup!!

You do know what those bad boys weigh, eh? They're like 12 lbs. Incredible. I had a set of 15's on my Scirocco. They were only 10.6 lbs, and they made a HUGE impact on both ride and handling, replacing a wheel that went about 19 lbs.

Those are awesome, especially in gold. Well done!

Thanks! The pics don't do it justice, they look better in person IMO. Blame it on my limited photography skills

Really like the look of these wheels...Any pictures of them on an R53 with, ahem, less of a drop?

New kicks for the Mini... Konig Feathers, 17x7, along with some 215-40-17 Kumho Ecsta LE Sports. Only 25 miles so far, but from what I can tell so far, it is a great combo and I am looking forward to the canyons and track days!

Looks good boholio! My new wheels and tires are set to show up tomorrow from Discount Tire Direct. Hopefully I'll be bolting those up on Saturday. They are Konig Zero-In's, so pretty similar in design to the feathers...
