I like it just the same. I picked up the car from Century MINI on Thursday of last week (disaster) and had it transported to the wheel shop for the swap. Adrianne will get it next Friday, so I'll let you all know how it goes. I had the wheels switched out with the G-Racing Seki's from R-Speed in Marietta, GA. LET ME JUST TELL YOU, THOSE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! Peter and Joe gave me a great price, and they are both supernice! I must say I thank all of you for the help in showing pictures of different color combinations, answering questions, etc. I thank Darxar for helping me decide on the wheels and everyone for invaluale commentary and opinions on the car.

Without further ado...

Nice ride there Cabbagetoe!

Have you joined up with any of the ATL Mini group? We've had a few get togethers up in the hills of NC where a few of them come up, great group of people.

Got any specs on the G-Racing Seki's, weight, offset oh, and price?

Hope to see you around

Actually, I will be down in ATL Sept 20th at Six Flags. I haven't met anyone from there yet. I certainly wouldn't mind going for a drive. PM me anytime for events and the like. Weight on the Seki's??? I'm not sure. 4 on 100 offset. Price was great. The one listed on the website at RSpeed is 175 per wheel. Call Peter and I'm sure he can help ya out a little.

Thanks

Cabbage

Yeah, well we can't all have cool blue dashboards but then again we can all have nice wheels like that either.

Guess that's what makes MINI's so special. :smile:

Yes, tuner wheels. They are made for several different applications and you use the holes you need. Some people like'em, some don't. I personally think these look great on the car, but everyone has their own opnion.

That's the standard antenna for a Sat-Nav equipped cooper. I do beleive you're correct that the newer models are coming out with a different am/fm type antenna. Remember reading about it recently, but not sure where.

You have a great IB/IB MCS. Your wheels are fantastic. Does your MINI have a name?

Do I smell someone giving a Mini as a gift? A surprise perhaps?

Sorry if you've answered that in another thread, but I hadn't noticed before
