i was going through a 2-4 month old DUB magazine and i saw an ad for either rims or tires, i think it was tires, and it had a mini on 20s on it. it was dark dark silverish maybe. not really my style on these cars but it did look ok. it was on the first 2 or last 2 pages. maybe somebody has seen it?

$500 each for those TIS 03'2. Like Dolly Parton says, it takes a lot of money to look that cheap.

for 500 each, you could get some real rims



That thing is like 5 inches off the ground hahahaha 4x4 mode to the extreme.

Those are real rims. Real big. And real shiny. You know you like them Rally, just admit it and stop hiding your true feelings.

I agree that they do look a bit off on the blue MINI, kind of like a roller skate, though I fully support the intent to stand out and apart from the rest. I like how they look on this one though:


Might just be the pic or angle though. I'd do it. Maybe. No, I'd probably stick to the 19's since I have no problems at all with them and I know the 20's are signing up for trouble.

but look how high that silver car is off the ground!!! And thats with a kit that goes lower than stock, and with it lowered to a point of undrivability with those wheels/tires....they would rub for sure. And yet, the car is like 8 inches off the ground!!

And in terms of standing out from the rest....it's kinda like shaving half of your head, dying it pink, and shaving lightning bolts into the other side. It's screaming "Hey look at me, I'm different!!!"...and yet, at the same time just plain not looking good.

Did I ever mention that in college I died my hair neon yellow like a tennis ball and like it so much that I kept it that way for 4 years?

I still like it. The wheels I mean. And the hair I guess. I dont think that I would do either quite so extreme though, in my older more conservative years (27).

Some how i knew you would have a crazy hair story

I guess that I just don't feel desperate to let everyone know that "HEY IM DIFFERENT! LOOK AT ME!"

There are lots of other wheels being currently, made like Team Dynamics Jet is made to fit the Mini 20" !!

And 225-30-20 will not rub at stock height.. Since, it is the same height as a 225-40-18 which I ran with no issues...

I may due this some day... the 225/30/20 tires keep falling in price where making it very possible....

Desperate? There you go again. You dont have to be desperate to not want to look like everyone else.
