*Vikki* · Apr 22nd, 2006, 07:09 PM

*Vikki* · Apr 22nd, 2006, 07:44 PM

any pics of red MINIs with these split rims?

insane*mini · Apr 23rd, 2006, 03:14 AM

Dump the S-spokes! Get the Ones picuted above (the Italian Job ones I'm guessing? The silver ones).

Hi yeah they are the italian job ones.

Damo · Apr 23rd, 2006, 10:39 AM

R90's may look nice but aren't much lighter than the S spokes, are an absolute ***** to clean. Your not allowed to use any alloy wheel cleaners as they're split rims and it gets in between and takes the finish off. Saying that the finish comes off anyway. If you didn't buy them from the dealer then your unikely to get them under warranty.

Personally I'd stay clear.

insane*mini · Apr 23rd, 2006, 05:10 PM

Go with some Ultaleggeras!

Or these if you want white:

Excel TZ10

R90s are amazing! But I'm biased too! See gallery.

Cody your MINI looks fantastic!

SteveM3 · Apr 23rd, 2006, 07:08 PM

Are these genuine BMW R90's? Although they are high quality they are also almost
as heavy as the S-spokes. I'd rather have the genuine item but at least the replica's
like I have are lighter as they are single piece with dummy bolts. I really like O.Z.
alloys but they don't look as pretty as R90s

Hello,

It's not a matter of getting your Gallery link back ... it's a matter of setting up an album containing "current" images of your MINI and providing a link to it.

Please refer to the following post on setting up and maintaining a MINI Profile View ...

http://www.mini2.com/forum/2353323-post15.html

You can set up a "Features" album described in the post above, but until the process of generating control statements for these images can be mechanized, I won't be including any of these images in your MPV.

The image you provided isn't really a good one for your "Showcase" image as it doesn't show the wheels.

Until you set up your "Showcase" album, users can still access your Gallery by clicking Username and the View Damo's Gallery.

Let me know when you have your "Showcase" album set up and I'll update your profile to generate the camera icon on your posts.

Thanks

Hope this helps
