Painted wheel arch trim is what makes that car look great, at least IMO. I'd imagine the cost of those rims and tires would be substantial.

I agree with Minnie. The painted trim looks great, but the wheels don’t get me excited at all.

That's what i was thinking. You would probably have to wear a mouthguard while driving it.

It looks cool, but I still think function over fashion is what its all about.

I agree, the wheels don’t really do “it” for me, but the painted wheel arch trim looks really sharp. Mine rides so rough right now with 18’s, that I would not envy anybody who had to drive on of these with even bigger wheels on it!

I bought a R60 with 20” and proceeded to lower add sway n strut etc. and loved it....absolute blast to drive...never added any HP so it wasn’t about tracking the car just having a go cart plus time behind the wheel.....it’s a Mini....that’s why we own one!
Cheers!

To each their own, just don't care for that look.

I applaud the fact that you dare to be different and joined the most hated of car cultures -- the DONK.
Check out SLABS for their Ben-Hur style extensions.
All aside I think it looks GOOD.

More info here,
They will fill the wheel well if lowered but ride quality does suffer. Pic below of 20" but not lowered.
