Oh, I like those.

Are the stripes and the pained scoop a recent addition to your MINI?

Here's the website from dayton who makes them http://daytonwirewheel.com/mini-cooper.htm but I bought them through British Wire Wheel at http://www.britishwirewheel.com/ . I got the 16" version though they do have a 17" as well. If you go to British Wire Wheel they're the same wheels but about $600 cheaper.

Here is a Mini that I've been working on. Installed 17x7.5 Kosei K1 Racings and 215/40/17 Kumho MXs this week. It really needs to be lowered, then it will look perfect.

Postmaster, for some reason those rims look massive - must be the angle of the shot!

Just put on some Advan replicas - with custom (read: not quite right, but stickin' with it ) paint job...got Toyo Proxes4 205/45's on there...
