Hah 1JZ in a 180sx, not something you see often, suppose the CA18 wasn't doing it for him, any more pics? :D

Nah nothing further and a quick google didn't turn up any gold. Looks like an Australian car though.

And nice post Joey, the 997 Turbo wheels on the Mk5 look the business.
 
Anyone have any details on this set of wheels? My buddy has been running them on various Volkswagens he's owned, but I've forgotten the story behind them.

Has anyone heard of OMP wheels?

OMP makes all sorts of racing safety stuff. Clothing, seats, interior safety accessories. Didn't know they made wheels.
 
Two Imports I shot back in June.. can't recall if I posted them in here before or not.

Got some imports from a diff car show I'll post after.
 
Those last two confirm my suspicions that MINIs look infinitely better with smaller wheels and taller tyres than they do with big wheels and low profile tyres. Not to mention they handle better and ride better.
 
Really much bigger then 16's look goofy on the MINI's. I had a lot of people try to tell me to go with 17's or 18's and I'm glad I ignored them.
 
I probably should stop looking at R53 MINI's, I'm starting to like them. Buying one would be stupid though as I could get a Classic Cooper for a similar price and I think that would be more enjoyable.

The ones you picked look great. Loads of people in the UK go for these ones and I hate the bloody things:

But, y'know, because they're 17" they must be good. Even though they weigh a tonne compared to the awesome standard 15" wheels and look rubbish.

These are sooooo cool!!
Homeforsummer where are you? These roadster / mx-5 / miata rocks!

I'm here! Those Miatas look awesome, though I think the first pic has been posted about three times before in this thread :lol: I do like the white wheels on it a lot.
 
Thanks, great photos. Not seen the rest of that set before. Amazing how it's no taller than the tyres on that truck. Just found that guy's blog, there are some more great photos there too:
