Look really nice on your ride! Can you give the wheel size, width, and offset? It's great to see the specs on the diff wheels that fit the Countryman despite what some sites list.

It's pretty similar to the stock 18s

18" x 7.5" ET 50

CB is same as stock.

Those look great, Royal! Very similar to the VMR v721. I love the look of your car all around. Nicely done!

With all those driving lights, which look really cool, does it affect the ability of the car to get enough air across the radiator? I'm in TX and am concerned about not getting enough cooling during the summer if I added those type of lights.

I've had the same concerns as well, but the weather here in Melbourne is pretty cool most of the year so I didn't really think it would be a big problem. Summer is coming up, so will find out then!

I know that on the MCS cars Mini only recommends 2 lights maximum just for that reason. Cooling. I wouldn't try 4 in a hot climate.

Probably best with 2, but I think the lights can be folded to face down, i guess that's what I'll do when the heat gets to 40C.
