hey I love those wheels, I think they go well with the A6 shape. Can't wait to see them on.

BTW, do you have pics of your mini?
It was my first car in france. My mom had a mini, we bought two more. Then my uncle (a mechanic) and i stripped them to nothing! Boxes of bolts and parts.... Built oen wth three, added a Detomaso Innocenti engine/trans, an original wood dash with center speedo... black paint, small thivk steering wheel... Did a few two wheelers with it on the french roundaboupts!!! Fun car but spent too much time in my uncle's shop! I then bought a FIAT Uno Targa.

Am I reading the numbers on the rims right ? Looks like 8.5x19, are you sure you have the clearance on your A6 2.8, and the right offset? If you fit the correct tires, your sidewalls can't be more than an inch high, meaning you'll feel every expansion joint, every ripple in the road into the cabin.

Yeah, ask the dealer who restores their wheels for them when they get chipped. It probably would be only another $200 to restore all four wheels to thier original luster.
Great choice!

I just paid $75/wheel to get my 4 BBS RC redone and they look like they just came out of the factory!

Oh yeah I cannot wait to get them restored. I am not going with original. I guess everyone just has to wait and see what I have planned for these.

And yes I love my mini here are a few pictures. I have a double carb kit for it and a wood dash...but this is 1 of 2 that I know of that came this way from factory a 1300 super. There are some changes that I have done to it. Just have not taken any new pictures of it yet as I am adding the double carbs.

Do you think there will be some problem with the brakes (312mm discs)... ?[&:]
Thinking about putting drilled discs + ceramic pads before the wheels.. just wanna make sure they'll fit after [8D]
