Thanks for the replies guys. I do like the 15's on my car even if I have a little wheel gap. Sadly I had to take the tail light covers over because of the law lol! I also added custom eyebrows for my front headlights. I will post some new pics soon!

Changed my tires from 225/40/18 to 225/35/18 to accomidate the drop on my H-Sport. THey are a perfect fit for my Axis decade (18X8) and don't rub, with the drop, like my 40 series did without the drop

Anyway, just a chance to post new pics of my MINI

after the drop and the 225/35/18

TO RALLYMINI:
it does look like my car is 50ft off the ground for sure! too bad i sold my coils. but it's actually lowered on H&R springs, haha..hard to believe, i say that to myself everytime i see my ride height.
