My new Shoes **FREEBIE** (56k maybe)
Well my boss owns a SWEET MiniCooper S... He had this stock set of wheels sitting in his back yard for the longest time.... The other day i went back there, brushed off grass/leafs/dirt to un earth them, and ask if he had any plans for them....
"Take'em, put em on that ugly @$$ box of yours" Brushed that comment off like i did the dirt on these wheels but anyways, cleaned them up and put them on today.... Tell me what you think!
Their running 205/45-17 pirelli Run flats, basicly almost blald, so their gunna need new rubber here soon, but i can last 1k-2k more before having to change them.
in my findings i found this.... what are they doing putting a toyota part on a Scion!!

yeah, had to do spacer on the rear b/c of rims were contacting the swing arm.... Makes for a better look too, b.c w/o them the wheels were just to far in... Would like to see more thread usage on the lugs tho... No quite what i like to see, but it'll work for now. No prob on the front... Now i havent riden it yet (restrict licence) but from what i could tell in my driveway, no probs w/ steering, i'll let you know tomm how they ride. Tho the rims were VERY close to calipers and springs, they dont contact at all.

I was planning on getting the exact same wheels, but found that they were heavy as hell (I believe they're 26 ibs a piece!) They look sweet tho, I like the whole retro-minilite connection. i'd leave the minicooper caps, people will be confused
