Thanks man. I had body colored rings a while back, but now I really like the chrome.

It was a tough decision, but I went with the BLQ's in the end. The NUE's are a bit sportier than the look I'm personally going for. The NUE's look great on MINI's though.

All experts I need your help baaaaaaad
I just purchased a used jcw 2009 with r56 with
18x8 kazera wrapped in kumho ecsta 215-35 R18 H&R sport springs
The stance looks great but the prior owner did not take in consideration the rubbing of the sharp wheel's well edge into my tires, which are nearing rupturing the two rear tires if I keep driving like this.

Please give me some quick sound advice on what I can do to save my ride.
1. Can I add the oem springs on the rear only and would the increase in height save the current set up?
2. Do I have to switch to coil overs to be able to adjust the height ?
3. Or do I havebto switch to 18x7 or 17x7 wheel size to make it fit inside the wheel well
4. Or has there been any wheel well rolling done on these since we have a plastic outside arch the wheel well rolling would sound like a good idea since you won't see the uneven metal from the rolling?
Thanks for your help guys I need it baaaaaad

Just noticed I have 20 mm h&r spacers in the rear for the aggressive stance
Just ordered 15 mm pair to cut back on the cutting of my rear tires I am good now thx, now that I know what the problem is
Just a little upset that my felt in the wheel wells is kind of butchered up.
Oh well I am very happy that $95 is going to fix my problem

Lots of attention to detail and customization (I notice your 5 lug wheel hubs). Custom?

What kind of mirrors do you have? They look great.

I may be just out-of-touch on Mini body styles and options, but is your fuel-filler door original or did you get a custom (read: normal) style door fitted?

That is the OEM style fuel door on non-S models.

Looks good! What's in the background? Looks like an old prison or military base or something.
