Those look really sharp!

next time don't be afraid to get closer when taking pics - I don't think the MINI will scare and take off running if it sees ya coming out from behind the Audi.

Very Nice Wheels! Now, you have to do something about the ride height. It's always something!

18" too

Good looking wheel! I think the car looks better with 18"... I bought some 18 x 7.5 NEX-O wheels with some Yokohama Paradas. I got mine from wheelmax.com (no, I don't work for them)... all 4 for $1000.
