Great looking Mini, it sits perfect. Really like the wheels. Is there any rubbing with this set up?

No rubbing. After lotsa research, reading the forum, etc I think this setup is PERFECT for me. Perfect stance. Perfect fender align with tires. Perfect height. Handles amazing with new rear NM Engr sway bar as well. H&R springs are perfect. NM woulda been great as well, but Les Schwab won't install. That's ok. I'm HAPPY

Mine's kinda basic, but I had some tinting done. I'm considering different wheels and tires, but these roads in Cleveland are awful. I wonder about wider tires for the 15" wheels, maybe 195/60s?

Shot yesterday off the Ortega Hwy. in So. Calif. - I apologize for the overcast weather. Only mods are light tint (50%) on side windows and dark checked mirror caps. Should have shot the red interior color line and chrome flash options - will do so next time.

Sorry I never updated my original post after my I initial intro. Current mods : window tint 32% sides and sunroof 70% windshield, JCW caps and scuttles,custom viper stripe that matches the JCW pro(chillies red center with black/gray checkers on sides) NM Springs,NM 22mm rear sway,Burger Tune(3psi but going yo 5psi soon) , Muffler delete, am/FM ant delete , New rims soon(probably NM since nothing else is hub centric.

Nicely done. NM Rse12 gunmetal would look best on your car. I wish they had Hyper Silver like VMR V710 but the NM looks matted

Maybe down back bumper as well but not beyond
