What is your max boost pressure, in Bars? Btw, at night, those gauges match perfectly.

Better yet, can you post the install process here? I'm really interested in the in-AC duct install process. Do you have to drill to get the wires in?

One of the reasons why I went with the SSR's in 16x7.5's is
because the spokes curve from the center to the rim like the RGII's
more than the SSR's in 17's do. The 17's are almost flat. see pict
below of my 16's.
I might have to get me some RGII's in gold next time around... damn
those are nice.

Yes ! When you only want the best for your Mini Cooper start by taking notes and looking at this car !!
Great wheels, many here will not understand why you went with them over SSR. Those advan are some of the finest built wheels in the world. The other great thing is you will not seem them on ever go fast car out there
