New Wheels fitted today

[Craig]

I had this set of wheels lying in my garage for about a year (came of my sisters old coop conv) and decided to get them refurbed, as they were all kerbed. :rolleyes:

Got them done at a place Chris Knox knows very well ;) and very happy with the look. They are a sparkly silver finish in the sunlight.

aye me too, but with only 3 centre caps after some scumbag nicked one, I can't use them... they are in my garage... :argh::argh:

one day I will find an engineering company that could make me a metal copy of them and I could use them again... :thumbs up:

[N12 JLK]

They are nice, I like!

[Craig]

I must also say thanks to Fi & Allan Thorne for their advice (and some equipment from Allan) :thumbs up::yes nod::yes nod:

yeah did think about them. not got the cash at the moment for them. :argh: Powder coating the wheels was cheaper than buying new tyres (which are needed on my 17's I've just taken off... ;))

[Ivano]

Very Nice Craig... Wheels really suit the car along with your colour coordinated NMS stickers :D:thumbs up::thumbs up:

[GCA3N]

Lokking sweet sraig, love the alloys, your car looks really smart, just a wee thought have you ever thought about putting the aero side skirts on, think it would finish off the look, nice though:thumbs up::cool:

If you mind me asking how much were the powder coats, and where did you get it done, thanks

[Crombers]

Yup, I like em :thumbs up:

[countdown]

I really like them :cool: just needs lowered now:D

The aero side skirts are sitting in my garage at the moment. just need painted. :thumbs up: Also have the aero rear spoiler... :yes nod: I have collected the parts over the last 6 months. Just need the cash to get them painted now... :argh:

the wheels were powder coated at Powdertec in Glasgow. they sponsor Chris Knox who races the MINI's in the Scottish Mini Cooper Cup. Only £40 per wheel for 18's which I thought was very good value. :D The wheels were quite badly kerbed, but you wouldn't know it now... They look like new and you can choose a variety of finishes and colours. :yes nod:

I really like them :cool: just needs lowered now:D

yeah, I have thought of that, but getting in and out of my street I scrape my front bumper on the illegal speed bumps (IMHO) so if I was to lower it, I would have real problems... :argh::argh:

Craig, Eibach springs would give you some mild lowering of around 20mm.. Not drastic but would make a difference...

Speed Bumps ehh!!! :argh: When i had my Coilovers on a 50mm drop, i couldn't take my MINI to Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow... There was much scrapping on the lower bumper spray sill, didn't damage it, just frayed the plastic off..

Sorry to disagree, but I think it looks smart just now;)

[Craig]

I have thought about lowering, but the entrance to my street is a nightmare with speed bumps which I already scrape on so - the jury is still out. :thumbs up:

[Scottie]

I wouldn't bother lowering all that kinda stuff just wastes the car imho.

[shaunbhoy67]

looks pretty smart like the finish, wheels look good on the car:thumbs up:

[totalhun]

car look really sweet, a lot of really subtle mods and its looking the biz.

[G19RNT]

[RyanK]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing it with the skirts and spoiler! Are they being fitted before Mini United?

+1 on what jim has said, look very much like the khan rsv's

[Craig]
