The life & times of TWISTER

I removed my Sportmax 961 wheels from my R53 before I sold it, so I could use them on the new MINI. Last week I was trying to figure out weather to go with a stud conversion or new 14mm lug bolts. I was also concerned that the tire pressure sensors in the OEM wheels would not work in my aftermarket wheels. Well after a week of research and hauling 4 wheels around in the car, I got may answer and had them installed at Discount Tire. They had to break down the 17″ OEM Crown Spokes, remove the TPMS sensors, break down my 17″ Sportmax wheels to install the sensors and them remount and balance the set before putting them on the MINI. It was a long week and I’m glad its over. Here are a few pictures from the install:

NOTE: Yes, a set of springs are going on the MINI real soon!
