My new 18" OZ Superleggeras!

HERES MY MCS and its new wheels!!!! I picked it up yesterday

I was told I'd be getting S Spokes, but the car came with Bullets, which I think look great!
I sold my set today to a very sound MINI2 member.

Had a nice 460mile trip from Selkirk near Edinburgh to Bristol since yesterday Car is soooo filthy!
Need to give it a wash 2mrw!

Side on View, this morning in Burnley pre OZ SuperL fitment, very cold morning it was too!


Back home in Bristol this afternoon, with the SuperLs fitted, but my oh my how dirty is my precious?


Just got the Eibachs and Aero kit needing fitment

Nope no rubbing at all, these wheels working great on the MINI, a couple members have the same wheels, but with different suspension setups.

IIRC DinkaDonka or maybe another member had KW V2 coilover suspension, with something like a 40mm drop in ride height without rubbing, but he did have coilovers so was able to adjust rebound and damping.

I'm gonna get Eibachs, which I think lower the S by 20-30mm.

Yes ollymale, hope to see you round Bristol too, there's 2 other Black Mini in Redland, is one of them you?

Cheers guys
