Wheel Help

Anyone know what kind of wheels these are? I just bought an '04 JCW and think they'll look great. Thanks.

They look like Racinghart C4 1 piece:

PS: I think lots of places carry Racinghart if you look online (be prepared, they are not the cheapest wheels out there).

Yep they're the RH Evo C4 in 19s... They are 1 piece so they're MUCH cheaper than the RacingHart 3-piece ones...

P.S. Where in Miami are you?

Thanks for your help guys...I figured I'd go with some cheaper wheels on this MINI...my previous MINI had 19" HRE's...cost me over $5k.

By the way...I'm from South Miami but in Central Florida right now.

Nice, I actually have a pic or two of your old car on my comp. Looks sweet. Why not go with some iForged? Those are cheaper lol..

Very bad experience with IForged wheels...maybe they've gotten better with customer service and quality...I'll check them out.

I'm kind of partial to HRE... just didn't want to spend sooo much $$$. Check out some of my other past/current cars. By the way, the S4 is for sale.

Wow, nice collection.. Which ones are current and which ones are old? I take it your partial to color-matching as well..

I would contact Wheels Boutique for iForged. Will you be color-matching the wheels for your new MCS as well? Or going with brushed aluminum or something. Whatever you get, post pics!

I buy all my wheels from Ben @ Wheels Boutique...good friend of mine. Nah...I think I'm gonna go with silver centers on this MINI. I think color-matched centers look nice...not for everyone though...I get alot of people who think it looks terrible. Here are some others...yea...I like CLK's

Yea i feel you on that one.. Yea he's been recommended to me several times (I've been close to buying iForged Equips for my MCS, although not through WB)... I like the color-matched centers but on certain cars with certain looks... I must say, you have great taste in cars AND wheels... Be sure to let us know what you end up going with.. I'm surprised I never saw your old MCS around in Miami...

Thanks for the compliments...you probably never saw me b/c I would rarely drive my MINI... sold it with only 4,500 miles...I just liked to see it parked in the garage.

hey I noticed you had 19's before. I just bought a set of wheels size 18X 7.5 I was wondering what size tires should I get for clearance if i should decide to get some lowering springs later on....or is that possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
