I'm using the corsa's now all the time, but I think I'll start using the Conti's when the other wheels show up; I'll use the Victorcacers for autocrossing and track days.

The 17" SSR's came from Tire Rack. The 16" SSR's were bought used from NAM's founder, Mark Ferguson. The OZ's came from a wheel company in Salt Lake that was a little less expensive then Tire Rack.

What does your wife say? Mine keeps telling me to leave the mini alone but I just can't. Next is the Unichip ECU and 17" tires and wheels.
Cheers

I have the opposite problem. I am trying to get my husband to stop me from spending on my mini. Our anniversary is next month, and I told him instead of buying presents for each other, why don't we each get new tires/wheels for our cars (he has an '03 land rover disco and likes to off-road).

I am starting my 2nd season of autocross and am obsessed with getting new wheels! I had a dream about racing last night. Don't tell my husband I would be mad if he told me he had a dream about his car!
