Should have posted this a long time ago as I've had them on for a couple months now...

Shinka · Sep 19th, 2006, 03:46 AM

Nice. Boy, I'd love some of those (though I think I'd prefer silver myself). Still, nice.

Root Ginger · Sep 19th, 2006, 09:33 AM

Get yourself some nice shiney tyre shine to go with those black wheels. Black wheels and dried grey rubber is not a good look

Tonyt3 · Sep 19th, 2006, 10:02 AM

Nice, was tempted to do that on my own car. I think you need to lower it as well....

Richard Crofts · Sep 19th, 2006, 10:10 AM

Oh these look nice, it exactly what I am going to be doing to mine once I get my TD Pro Race 1s for the road. Laptab here I come for my gloss black Dare X4s for show use!

T-bone S · Sep 19th, 2006, 11:28 AM

Nice but not on a DS - not enough contrast - I was toying with getting some black R105's but in the metal - just didn't look right - soz!

Olly. · Sep 19th, 2006, 11:59 AM

Very nice.

I want your number plate, its great

minicore · Sep 19th, 2006, 08:09 PM

Those look great!

jim74-mcs · Sep 19th, 2006, 11:09 PM

Looks really good. Love those wheels. Just spotted you have JCW brake kit, did you have to fit spacers or do they fit underneath the dares.
Cheers

That is AWESOME!!

Heh...yeah. I see your point

They didn't look so brown in the flesh.

Thanks, Jim.

I believe the spacers that came with the rims where used. Can't remember what size, though.

They were pink.

Richard Crofts · Sep 20th, 2006, 12:50 PM

They are just the fitting rings (spigot rings). They are plastic and fit into the hub of the rim so that it fits flush to your MINI hub flange. They don't space the rim away from the car to allow extra clearance behind the wheel. The JCW kit fits behind the Dares with no modification or spacers. Wheel spacers are metal not plastic and fit over your hub bolts between the hub and the back of the actual wheel.

jim74-mcs · Sep 20th, 2006, 09:22 PM

Thanks for that. Will be looking into getting the JCW kit.

GCoopS · Sep 20th, 2006, 09:29 PM
