Would love and could go much lower except that the car would be undriveable on our streets which feels a bit like a war zone...

Our cars are so related.

Out of curiousity did you have the dealer put them on or someone else?

No pics today, but Just finished at my local perf shop. I'm changing out the stock wheels and tires for custom built Niche Circuit 18x8 4 lug with Yokohama Ad08's 225/40. Can't wait till they come in.

It's sexy as. What are you going to do with your current rims? Looking to sell?

This is my wife's 2010 Horizon Blue R56 with JCW 18" R113 wheels and Pirelli 205/40R-18 run-flats. We special ordered it for her retirement gift to herself in May 2010.

I would really like to have one of my own, unfortunately with my hobby, I need the space my Hummer provides. My future plan for her Mini is to add a M7 Tuning CF splitter and the tow rings. That will get done in March or April.

For now I am going to use NM Engineering springs, but hope to upgrade to KW coilovers later down the road.

The wheels and color of it go well with the car. I love it! I'm still in the midst of deciding to get them. Just don't know if the matte black will stand out on mine as the white is really standing out on yours!

You coming out this Thursday for the weekly meet? Not sure where but I believe we'll be in Pasadena.
