My Bagged MINI Cooper build thread

[Beware]

Mine started out as 17x8 ET39(going to end up as 9's and 10.5's) which seems to be a somewhat common size, not that they are a common wheel by any means, but I've seen a few sets in that sizing. Also 17x8 ET32 is another size I've seen a couple of sets in......would either work on the mini? Problem is, they only run a stepped 1in lip in those sizes, so no dish at all.

I follow your thread on MU and it looks really great. Love when little things tie the wheels to the car like the center caps. It's a shame that they were stolen. I am scared for the same thing for mine. Those Breytons are beautiful. I actually was looking at a set a few months back but opted out because they were too aggressive to run for my r53. They'd look amazing on your car.

looks awesome man definitely dig the stripe removal and really dig the wheel set up now but the Breytons too. Your car has been a continued inspiration for my R53 since i talked to you about offset on MU and NAM. I thought you had VMAXX before though??? how do you like air ride compared to the Vmaxx? Also, you said that airride was making a set up for 2nd gens --- but also 1st gens?

R53-0131, thanks man! I did have Vmaxx coilovers before when I was really low, then I had BC Coilovers and now I have Air Ride. I love air compared to any set of coilovers I've had. Rides amazing and handles just like my coilovers did. They currently make a kit for mini coopers but they do require modification.
