I know, right! Totally thought I'd be the only one with that color stripe on a BRG/B Mini S. So my Monstah has a younger brother now, very cool! If you lived nearby, I'd say lets meet up for a photo op. lol

You're right about the stripe (like it or hate it). When my graphics guy sent me the first shot of the mock up, I wasn't sure about it. Then later that week, he emailed me the finished product, and I was floored.







So now looking at it, it seems like your stripe is a deeper shade of that same green. BRG with a Black roof and that stripe color (either one) seems to do the car justice, IMO.

Sorry....it's a wheel thread, we temporarily hijacked it. But I do LOVE my wheels from the first picture I posted. The one above in this reply are the old stock ones, which are "meh". lol

I have a few more photos in the stripes thread at http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...ml#post2916476

My car actually has a BRG roof and yes stripe is a little deeper shade of green, so they are similar but still unique. I like the MONSTAH in the stripe, very sweet. Photo shoot would be tough as I see you live in Mass and I live in Missouri, or Misery as some locals refer to it! Well, great minds think alike!! LOL...

Geez I wish I could fit 16's on a JCW!! They come in 17's by any chance? I'm not finding it.

1. no options outside of 15"/16"
2. the offset on these wheels will make it difficult for your average mini to fit well.

I hear ya. That's the kind of wheel to me that I'd work around. Classy, yet purpose built racy look, and the 8" width gives a great lip for look.

[VicSkimmr]

He's also running widened arches, so keep that in mind

[glnr13]

another view so you can see how much wider the arches are:

That's cool, I still like the lip.

R98's are great looking stock wheels!

205/40/16 I don't like the sidewall ratio, switching to something meatier with less stretch soon.
