Car looks Fantastico! I usually dont like black wheels, but looks good on your car with the contrasting arches. Must be fun to drive the MINI there, i know the backroads there are awesome with lots of S turns and few stoplights.
Wish i had my MINI when i was there in August but all we had was a SMART 4 door Rental car

We can finally close this thread now. I'm voting Cooperworks' car as poster car.

Did we conclude that these were the Tenzo Mach-10's? Very nice car by the way

I just check Discount Tire Direct, and all their Tenzo wheels are gone except for one. They had like 16 just a week ago.

Correct. I've found them in 17's or 18's and under $800 shipped...

Anyone tried Sportmax wheels?
I'm getting an '08 Clubman S with Chili red and black - was wondering if the red would be a match or close?
Also how are the wheels in general?

nothing special. the red is anodized on those IIRC, which means it won't match

Hmm, I couldn't seem to find them on that site. Nothing under wheels/tires... maybe I've got the wrong site

I'm running with that size and there is some rubbing. It depends on how much you lower the car. I lowered it about 1/2 inch both in front and back with Cross coilovers and I have to do some cutting in the upper inner lip of the plastic fender.

Alpha, Great looking car. I really like what you've done. The wheels really go well.
What kind of driving light covers are those? I just got DLs and got these really bad, dorky white covers from MINI. Wish they made black. Did you paint yours (what kind of paint works?) or buy aftermarket covers?
Thanks. Kudos again.

Wow
, I'm liking that look there. Any scrapes - rubs with those 40series 18's? Looks like its lowered a bit too.
