The CR/B is a great combo and I love two-tone rims. Very sharp!

The aero kit will look great on your MINI! Will you paint the plastic bits? If so, red or black?:smile:

they look like 19lb flik wasps to me...

i believe they also come in gunetal.

they retail at about 700 without tires.

not too heavy.. great for street use.


now how bout that unsightly wheel gap... what kind of springs are you going to buy?

Nice looking mini. The wheels are pretty sharp on your mini.

All you need are some boot stripes and you'll be all set

I may get boot stripes I dunno if I should yet...

I actually got the wheels with Falken Ziex for $833 shipped! Awesome deal!

Problem is I want matching bootstripes but I I want them to match perfectly...if I do get aftermarket stripes I feel the quality wont be the same..

The stripes from Aesthetic Creations are exactly like the factory stripes (wh with bl trim) not a two part like some of the other after markets. I put them on my MCS05 Chili Red and they look great. In my case I split the RH stripe so the red "pops out" and highlights the Cooper S logo.

Don't be afraid of the aftermarket stripes. You would be very pleased with them.

Thanks Rick for the good word.
