Just about to order a set of 7.5x18 BK299 they are going to be HUGE!!!

I'll post pics as soon as they fitted.....

AidenL · May 9th, 2002, 07:34 AM

Lets see a pic of the rims now anyway please ??

G8BAD_COOPER · May 9th, 2002, 07:44 AM

Ive been trying to get a pic of them off the net, but I cant find one

because they've only been out for a couple of monthes anyway they're DTM 2 piece Split Rim Style, and Im undecided if i should get them chromed or not?????

I'll search the net again for pics

AidenL · May 9th, 2002, 08:08 AM

Look forward to seeing them......

smiffy · May 9th, 2002, 08:53 AM

I couldnt even find a piccie in Maxpower

18's

sweet

Dom · May 9th, 2002, 08:54 AM

I wanted some BK 121's but they only go up to 17"...

Can't find a pic of the 299's anywhere either!!

Dom

G8BAD_COOPER · May 9th, 2002, 09:27 AM

they are in the Demon Tweaks Catalog, Ive just ordered them (£522.03) and I should have them tomorrow or monday

i'll post pictures when they arrive, now ive just got to get them some rubber, and have a think about chroming them....Hmmm ??

Dom · May 9th, 2002, 09:49 AM

Are you going to need any spacers as well? I'm guessing the rubber on the 18's will be wider than 205 and thus need them

Dom

G8BAD_COOPER · May 9th, 2002, 09:51 AM

well i should get away without them, im getting 215/35/Z18

Cool, let me know how it goes!

In case nobody's noticed, I'm trying to see if 215's will fit fine on my 16's... although I expect G8BAD will get away with it because his wheels are 'slightly' larger than mine!

Are run-flats available in 18"x7.5"? I saw some alloys I really like on tirerack, but am torn between the 17" and 18".... Sorry if this has already been covered...

The run flats are too expensive, just buy some normal tyres and get the MMS (MINI Mobility System) that comes with the 15" wheels (i.e. no run flats as standard)

G8BAD_COOPER · May 10th, 2002, 08:25 AM

as far as i know, you cant get run flats in 18's but personally i dont think they are worth the extra anyway!! im just going to stick a can of that foam in the boot, much cheaper...

until you actually need to use it and have to buy a new tyre

well you may say that but before i had the MINI i had an Audi on 17's and had a puncture, i used the foam stuff and then went on to do anougther 6000 miles without any probems, although im not saying I would do that to a set of 18" tyres its just that if you spray anough it can be permenent (but i dont advise it)

smiffy · May 10th, 2002, 08:52 AM

I think ive seen a piccie of those wheels in the latest Maxpower

All I can say is...................very nice, good choice

G8BAD_COOPER · May 10th, 2002, 09:41 AM

cheers smiffy

they were meant to be deliverd today but deamon tweaks didnt do the order yesterday so now im getting them tomorrow (hopefully) I'll take a picture of them without the tyres tomorrow and post it so you can all see.
