Your additional photobucket pictures show them to be Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS Ultra High Performance Summer 180 utqg. Available for $149 on closeout at tirerack.com. Nice choice in a runflat.

Had one of our techs do it but watched him do it , much easier than the r56 especially if your doing springs at the same time. Unbolt the rear suspension(6 bolts) remove the bushings (4bolts) disconnect from the shocks(1 bolt per side) slide it out and repeat. 15-20 minute job if you have it on a lift with the right tools.
Looks good, but runflats?! I thought generally get away from those noisy b*****s?
I'm going to be throwing on some 205/16/50's on my 16 ET 20's. Going with the new Falken Ziex ze950's

Nice wheels! Different. Your Mini has somewhat of a JCW look with the red stripes and accents. So now you need to add a performance tune to put a bit more muscle under the hood. 
What that round badge/decal on the rear side window, driver's side?

Good runflats are not noisy and handle better due to the stiffer sidewall.

The NM springs did the job and looks great, wheel finished the look!
Looks like you were at a dealership , i see at least one R50 ( with lower bumper damage ) in the background. Its looks sad that its did not get wheels and suspension.
