No name yet... Have a couple in mind, just picking. Was one on the lot that just called to me:

^^^^ Very nice! Still my favorite OEM color!

 

AzDavis, that is one beautiful Mini!!!

 

Were you using a lensbaby?

 

 

WOW now theres an R56 dropped
Does it handle a lot better than at stock height?

 

Holy Jesús! What did you drop that thing on? It barely clears the road.

 

Thanks. It handles way better then stock. It used to roll like a pig now it is very flat and composed with less understeer

KWv2's and they aren't even at the bottom of the threads

 

Looks like you have a drop similar to mine. Are you rubbing at all? What are your tire and wheel specs?

 

If you look closely, there is an ant trapped under the car - he can't get out!

 

There was just a very small amount of rubbing with the stock rims and tires for winter. The wheels are 16x7 rota RB with Hankook Ventrus RS-2 205/45-16.

 

Here is my brand new Laser Blue 2009 MCS. Stock, for now.

looks nice. wax those rims asap to keep the brake dust off of them!

 

waxing is key!

 

That's a tip I'm going to keep in mind. Never heard of waxing the rims. You use just straight clearcoat wax right?

 

I used regular wax but ended up spraying my rims black. Others have used RimWax - http://www.smartwax-usa.com/ProductD...Code=SW-RIMWAX

 

Here's my R56....just put my new wheels on today and love them!

 

Nice choice in wheels!

 

Thanks! Unfortunately for my bank account, I have expensive taste

 

love the BBS's...

better wax those puppys too!

 

 

This sounds like a good idea. But, it would seem best to remove the wheel from the car to accomplish this task the easiest. Two questions: For those that have waxed the wheels; How long does it take to do all four wheels? And Two: How often do you have to wax them?

 

Here's some shots of my new baby just after his first wash. I love this car, I feel like I'm 10 years old all over again

 

Nice Car - love the color

 

i used to detail cars regularly, and actually recommend turtle wax on wheels. Any carnuba will do. Never used that wheel wax brand, but the turtle wax holds up very well with the hot brake dust compared to a lot of the polymer waxes out there.

Only issue with using carnuba, it doesn't hold up well to washing. I'd wax them every time you wash.

If you can take the tires off, it is beneficial to get the inside, however I've found that the average person doesn't really care.

Just doing the outside part of a wheel shouldn't take you more then 15 mins, for all 4, assuming the wheels are already washed. it's WELL worth it next time you have to try and brush all that brake dust off.
