Finally...

I've had my '07 Cooper S for about a week. It's as awesome as I thought it was going to be...

Like the white wheels with all the white trim. Nice clean look!

Thanks. It had silver wheels, but I wanted white. The dealer was nice enough to swap them for the white wheels off an '08 sitting right next to it.

Thanks, flredmini. You have the wheels that I wanted. For some reason the extra spoke looks better. I wonder why they don't offer white wheels with the new ones anymore?

Me thinks it's because black is the new white.

I bought mine from someone else who didn't like the white wheels, and they took them off their 2010 MCS. I had them originally on my 2010 Justa, and had them switch them over when I traded in for the 2011 MCS. The brake dust was very bad on the MCS, so I swapped out the pads for ceramic, and what a difference. Love the ceramic pads, and they work just as good as the semi-metalic. I have ceramic pads on my 2003 Chevy Express van that I use for my business, and they have 130,000 miles on them, never been changed.

Ceramic is a great idea. It's impossible to keep the wheels clean.
OVREZY, I'm planning to join, and the swamp fox parade sounds great. It's just down the street from me. My problem is finding the time. I've been a member of the Bi-State VW Club for years (I have a '74 Thing), but I can never seem to get to their events.
