i was wondering if anyone on here has heard of someone running these wheels or a similar wheel on a mini. i am thinking about selling my flik wasps to get these but i was wondering if anyone has seen them on a mini. edit: title is wrong, supposed to be sportmax 501's like pictured!

 

No, but if you do sell your Wasps let me know.

 

This thread moved from suspension to Tires wheels and brakes Forum.

These Sport max 002 rims come in various sizes and offsets and finishes that can fit the MINI.

Finishes with polished lip:
Gloss Black
Red
Gunmetal
Hyper Silver

15x7 et 38 14.5 lbs $89 each
16x7 et 38 16 lbs $99 each
17x7 et 40 18 lbs $119 to 139 each
18x7.5 et 42 23.5 lbs $129 each

 

I put the wrong wheel in the title, it is supposed to be the 501's
also left out the 15x8 et 15!

 

That would be too aggressive of an offset for the Mini. You would need to do major modifications to make it work. 15x7 with a 38 offset is a better fit.

Tell that to Rally

15x8 ET15 is VERY aggressive but it CAN be done and can look good if done right. Contact Rally about that...

 

Yes I have them on mine. They are the 15x8 +15 offset with 205 tires. Love them.

 

any pics? i like the look of these myself

 

sure just click on my Gallery

 

awesome, thanks

 

I answered your PM...but feel free to ask me any other questions as well.

15x8 et15 is a bit less agressive than my rear wheels.....so take that into account when you read my PM response. My fronts are 15x8 et 14 and there is no rubbing AFTER i put some camber up front. Without camber, i hit a bad construction zone and it knocked one of my arches off. Added some negative camber (-2.5) up front and don't rub at all.

 

Sorry to be off topic but,

Bassels,

How about more details on the TR6 V8 conversion you've got going there?
That is one sweeet looking machine!

 

The 6 is a whole differant ball game but if you go to this page you can get info on mine and other conversions.
