Looks great.
That's within 0.1" of stock dia. Did you have to do anything special to avoid rubbing -- change wheel offset, grind, etc.?

What am I seeing in the interior back? Are those speakers?

It looks like a different color trim around the rear head rests

Here is my two, an 05 MCS PS/B Cabrio and my new 07 MCS JCW AeroKit with body colored wheel arches. A log of work yet to do on the 07 but mainly for track use.

Dan - those photos and your car look fantastic. After looking them over, I know that I made the right choice. I should receive my Silver Rota RBs in a few days - I can't wait!

Very nice Dan! It's too bad VA has that stinkin' front plate requirement.

Lately, I have been leaning to an all Dark Silver for my 2008 MCS. Your pictures definitely make that case stronger.

Yeah. And on the MINI, it's bolted directly to the bumper. I hate that.

Which wheels are those Dan? I'm on an eternal quest for the perfect black wheels with polished lip, and those look great.
