I am really bored so thought I would finally make a thread that's not in the intro section about my car. My name is Nathan and I am from the Middle Tennessee area and I drive a 2004 Mini Cooper S. I have Vmaxx coil overs (hopefully not for long), alta end links all around, hotchkis LCA, and 16" BBS RS. I also have some Ireland Engineering camber plates and powerflex bushings that I have yet to put on. I was running 16x7.5 ET19 and 16x9 ET13 in the pictures of the BBS' on my car but right now I am rebuilding and refinishing the RS' to fit better and look cleaner. My sidewalls bubbled really bad after 5 months of driving. BUT, when it's all said and done with they'll be 16x8 ET24 and 16x9 ET24. Which should fit perfectly. Now for some pictures.
Right after I finished the wheels the first time.
Sidewall bubble.
I used to have 5.5" barrels up front and 6" barrels in the rear but I bought some 6.5" barrels for the rear and put the 6" ones up front and sold the 5.5".
Rear barrels test fit
Front barrels test fit. Hopefully I don't have inner clearance issues when I drop it down more...
Traded my aftermarket 2.5" lips plus cash for these 2" BBS Slants (Right).
This is the setup size wise. 16x8 +24 and 16x9 +24
Rear lips 2"
Front Lips 1.5"
That's all i've got for now. I will post more as I go along.
Edit: Also bought two Falken 512's to go on the 8's up front so it will fit right this time.
