They look good, did you put on sticky hankook's? A side view would be good.

Nice photography of the MINI.

Very nice wheels, tires, and car.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. They are great tires, inexpensive, sticky, wet traction is awesome. At $97 a tire installed, perfect tire. Although the local hankook shop scratched my R90s when they put them on.

Thanks! Yep they're Hankook Vetus V12 Evo's. Didn't get a side view last night. Ran out of sunlight. Had a photoshoot planned today, but it rained. I'll get some side views when it quits raining.

No way man, don't worry, those wheels are sick! They work great with your colors. I looked at them when I was getting my wheels, but wouldn't have matched my future visions. Great choice.
