We need to get enough requests in to Tire Rack to get the matte gray with red stripe in the 17.

We also need to get a request in to Breyton to stop making changes to the Bright Silver GTS-R's. I bought mine in June of 2010 and had one that would not balance out so they replaced it but i had to wait a month because it was on back order. The replacement came in with a machined inner lip behind the spokes while the original 3 were all painted. Tirerack was cool and replaced the other 3 with the new version after being told by Breyton that all the new ones have the machined inner lip. Well........I took the wheels to the shop to have them put on and they scratched 2 of them in the process. The shop agreed to replace those 2 but of course they were on back order until last week. I went this past Saturday and dropped the car off to have the new ones put on and when I got back to pick it up guess what i found. Breyton has switched back from the machined inner lip to the all painted again!!!!! So now i have 2 wheel with a machined inner lip and 2 with a painted one. I am furious. This has been the worst wheel purchasing experience ever. And now I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. I already spent $1000 and I dont have and wont spend another $500 to make em all match.

Shoot me an email with your purchasing details. Have the new ones (mismatched) been driven on?

Those Enkei wheels are nice, but there's just that "something"with the Breytons. =)

I'll take some pics next week when the weather clears up and I can clean up the MINI.

However, there really isn't a poke. It's nice and clean, to my liking.

I'm sooo close to buying the GTS-Rs in the 18" bright silver for my 2010 Non-S. I FINALLY found pictures of a PW/B car with them.

Here is how my car sits now :



The potential future?





I have NM springs that I still need to install

I bought the 18" silver breytons and love 'em. My car is DS so I almost bought the grey wheels, but am glad I went with the silver - they have a nice natural metal look.

I didn't even bother lowering my car - just fitting 40 series tires on the 18" rims filled the wheel wells quite nicely (much better than my 17" stock R99's)

UPS man dropped off the Breyton's yesterday afternoon and I bolted them up last night. Sorry for the horrible phone pic I DEFINITELY need to have the NM lowering springs installed soon.

They are the standard bright silver color that is offered on Tire Rack.

The camera really makes them pop
