Hey guys

I've made a couple posts so far in here but i wanted to introduce myself. I'm luke. I just picked up my mini yesterday. Its on 04 MCS with the aero package. Drove all day yesterday so its already dirty but whatever. It has 35k on the odo and seems to be very well taken care of. Its a great lookin car and was exactly what i was looking for. Here are some picks. Anyone know what kind of wheels they are?

Hi there,

Nice machine. To me, the rims look like one of the OEM optional models. Perhaps r90 but 17" instead of 16"? Judging by your garage, you are a BMW oriented family. Got love a good ride.

yeah I love BMW's. I'm selling my 05 M3 soon though. Just too expensive to maintain right now. The 95 M3 is my dedicated track car. Thing is a blast. When i get a chance i will post a pic of my girl friend's Mini. Hers is the reason i decided to get mine.

Awesome MINI.

The wheels look like the "R99 17" Silver Wheels and Caps".



Could be wrong though.

well i met the original owner today to give me the original wheels. he also gave me all the paperwork and reciepts. The wheels are Sacchi 18x 7.5 type 225 wheels. They were more expensive then i thought. which is good cuz then i can sell them for more then i thought.

They are wrapped in nanking ns2 hr tires size 215/35 rubber. I've never heard of those tires so i have no clue if they suck. The car handle great but i don't know if thats the car or the tires.

It also had the original window sticker so i know now that it has the cold weather package, premium package, sport package, and the hk sound system.
