"Doc" goes under surgery....lol

Hey all as you all know i got my Lightning Blue 2008 R56 about a month ago. Shortly after the Stone Mtn run i decided i needed to modify my suspension on the mini so i ordered a set of NM lowering springs, and a 22mm adjustable Sway bar, I had them installed and WOW what a difference. Then i wanted a set of wheels to play with so i looked around and found a set of 17" wheels at a car show they are not the best thing but they were CHEAP!!!!. Now it was time to get a little more power so i began looking on Craig’s list (second favorite website) i found an Alta Intake system almost NEW in the box, again CHEAP!!!!, i also ordered a Stealth 2 1/2 " exhaust system. So far so good i still have several more things to do to "Doc" I’ll be posting pics soon.....

Those wheels look pretty good to me, what did you have to give for them?
