Excellent idea. Would give me an idea as to how my car would look with those wheels then.

I'm pretty sure they're 17"s. (EDIT: Yup, Lohen only offer 17"s).

Reckon I'm gonna go for these wheels, but I can't decide whether to get them in silver or anthracite. Would anthracite look odd on a HB/W MINI?

Wheels look nice, but what the hell is that naff Subaru-style bit of plastic on the intercooler intake?

Hartge · Dec 27th, 2005, 05:40 PM

Yeah there 17inch anthracite speedline turini's, there a really nice wheel, nicely made and light aswel!

As for would you car look odd, mine is HB/W aswel, so make your mind up from that

i think it goes really well!

The exhaust is a prototype JCW exhaust, its just basically the JCW system but with quad exit, they made only a couple i think before they realeased the works kit, i think they were considering the quad exit as either the standard JCW exhaust or as an option...

Cheers for the feedback.... dont think the BBR scoop is naff by the way

About the aero side skirts, you ever have a problem with them scraping over speed bumps, mines lowered pretty much as low as you would want to go and i ripped off a jacking point the other day, think if i had the aero sides it would have made an absolute mess of them!

I think they look great but i would cry if i smashed them goin over a hump! (which are stupidly high near me)

Cheers

TallAndy · Dec 27th, 2005, 07:10 PM

Never had any probs with the skirts catching, mines 20mm lowered on eibachs. Car looks sweet BTW

only 20mm
do u mean 30mm?
im on kw and thats 35mm which doesnt catch the skirts on speed humps - the front plastic lip thing does but hey if it dont scrape it aint low enough

jonnyc · Dec 27th, 2005, 08:02 PM

mines lowered about 50-60mm all round on KW coilovers so it scrapes all the time on most things, not the arches tho... but i think the mini looks so cool really low, easpecially from the front!
