I also posted these in the Clubman forum; forgive me for the double-post. But I thought the car looked cool, and the wheels aren't common...

They are 18x8 Rota MC.

Little rubbing on the front... I will first see how long it takes for the rubbing to leave.. lol

If it stays.. I will get myself some 8mm spacers.... That'll prob. not rub.


Damn i love that clubman above!! No more pictures!?!?!? :(

Cheers and keep all the pics coming guys!!! :D

That is a full Buster Poindexter right there! Only thing I can think to add would be a SMALL spoiler over the rear window, just to accentuate the lines a touch, to kind of match with the lower bumper line. VERY nice.

And Coen_de_K, that yellow is a jaw dropper. Ho-lee cow.

Every time I fill up a tank of gas it seems like you got a new MINI!
