Thanks!

Just over 2 months... Picked it up from a dealership in NJ and drove it back and the modding just didnt stop. I am very happy with the selection of the car and the mods. Still waiting on some stuff. You can see the build thread I have. I will be adding some older photos on it soon

Yeah, got a great deal on them. Picked them up right outside kings dominion in VA. I really wanted them but they were real pricey for OEM 18s (what OEM wheels aren't) saw a deal and jumped on them... I'm really glad I did, the appearance is drastically improved with them. Only thing is I need spacers the stance is much less then aggressive with the +52 offset. I'm probably going to order them now so I can put them on when I get back.

Quick question. The lug bolts are tapered right? I was looking around and with the extended lug bolts they offer the two types. I feel like I know they are tapered but I don't want to order the wrong ones.. IE tapered or round.

Thanks, posted bigger pics in the Countryman thread. The wife and I got such a great deal on the Cooper S we splurged a bit and got the Countryman S sooner then we had planed.
