So are the chromium black rims more like a grayish color because I'm looking at getting them but haven't seen them in person and can't picture the color. also how for out do the 8.25 rims poke out?
Im about to buy this set of rims. Did you use the factory lugs or did you have to buy a kit ? if so do you have a link ?
After looking through the first 16 pages I didn't see many Hyper Blue Metallic Minis. Anyone have one of those with aftermarket rims? I'm looking into some rims for mine.

Np I'm happy, and it's super driveable too. With no passengers it never rubs. With one passenger it rubs now and then in the rear, but only if it's a bumby road. Nothing serious anyway. Front is never rubbing.
Edit: The inside plastic "lip" on each fender is cut away. If not you will rub as hell.
Finally decided on a set of rims and just had them installed. 17x7 ASA AR1. I really liked the Breyton GTS-R and considered the NM RSe-5, but wasn't sure I wanted to pop $1000 for a set of rims. The ASA AR1's are about 2 lbs lighter than the R104 crown spoke stock wheels, so not a ton of weight savings, but they were inexpensive and have that Breyton look. The machined lip works really well with the chrome accents.
i do love the looks of the ar1. just wish they were lighter
Well, their stated weight is 2 lbs lighter than the R104 crown spokes they replaced, so I did obtain about 10% weight reduction. Believe me, I would have rather gone with the Breytons or NMs (~17 lbs each), but not for nearly double the price per rim.

I completely agree. If CCWs weren't $3200 a set, I would definitely be rocking them.
