Finally started my MINI

[vbrad26]

haha you just cant catch a break lol

quoted for the truth lol
sorry about your luck man...

[JohnnyVillan]

Test fitting the new wheels today. Just some teaser shots.

Dont get too excited, they're just Sportmaxes. They're just the size and offset I need to get my stance dialed in.

Also didnt have any 2x4s to lower it on so it had to stay jacked up high. Obviously the car is MUCH lower lol

The lips are gonna end up flat black for now. I cant stand the polished look.

[vbrad26]

i think its going to look good

[JohnnyVillan]

Thanks man

Hopefully I'll be able to get some tires on there tomorrow. Like an ass I totally forgot Im gonna need new lugs and some damn valve stems so Im gonna have to try and find some of those too.

[vbrad26]

the tire shop will have the valve stems if you dont mind just plain old rubber ones lol
they may even have lugs i dont know...
guess it depends on where you go...just get that shit done asap lol

Im going as fast as I can

Unfortunately mufuggas are too lazy to go to work on Sundays so I gotta wait till tomorrow.

Got the tires today

Now all I need are the lugs and I couldnt get any locally so I had to order some. Should be here within a couple of days and then I can get these shits on.

[vbrad26]

what tire sizes did you go with?
and what are the specs on those wheels?

[JohnnyVillan]

Sportmax 501 15x8 +15 all around
195/50/15 Kumho Ecstas

Its a nice mild stretch for daily driving. Im pretty happy with em.

[Streetlight]

Can't wait to see this thing finished

[Chase]

hell yeah man i cant wait to see these. I almost ordered the same set, but in 16's

[JohnnyVillan]

FUCK

I got my new lugs today and the idiot sent the wrong thread pattern!

[Rally]

You have an 06? Do you need the crazy new thread pattern they used on the r56?

Its actually an 05 but same thing

I need the 12x1.5 thread pattern (which is what I ordered) but I think he sent me the R56 bolts by mistake. They're WAY bigger than my OEMs.

[JohnnyVillan]

Well it aint all bad. The dude is really cool and is overnighting me another set. Hopefully tomorrow the wheels will be on.

But with my luck Im sure something else will happen so I dont have my hopes up too high
