Default New Wheel Pics

Carrie (motoring) and I got new wheels so we went to take some shots this morning.

On the STi. a new set of Rota P45F's in an 18x8 with 245-40/18 Falken ZE512.

For the Mini, we got rid of the 18x7 OZ SuperLeggeras (2 were bent by a pot hole) and added some Rota Grids in a 17x7.5 with 225-45/17 Falken ZE512 tires. I think the Mini looks super tough now.

No Rubbing with the 245's...they are the perfect size for the wheels.

I think your car looks hot, but I prefer the OZs on the Mini. Maybe if the stripes and roof were black it would blend a little better.

I think the OZ's are sick on the Mini, but I'm liking the black w/ lip even better. Nice work Carrie!

Me likee.

I like the new rims on the Mini better than the old. I don't dislike the OZs, but 18" of bright silver kinda overpowers the rest of the body.
