Thanks Muladesign1,
I think the new stance and wheel combo has really pulled the look of the car together. I got the grill from germany, it's the Hamann grill.
I haven't had to clean the rims yet so when I do I will let you know how it goes
I'm running 17" BBS RS's
8" up front with an offset of 43, also running 11mm spacers to push the offset to 32.
9" in the rear with an offset of 40, also running 15mm spacers to push the offset to 25.
I'm running Falcon 912's
205/40 Up front
215/40 In the Rear
Dropped the car on a set of Megan coilovers, I must have 2"/2.5" of clearance under the front splitter.
I also ran Upper/Lower Helix Rear Control Arms.

Must say, nicely Dropped R56!
And a nice set of wheels!
And thanks for the info, I called over to Precision Motorsports yesterday and my car is scheduled to go in for an alignment on Tuesday, Finally a shop that can put my low riding cooper on their lift

Well, I've finally got around to making a few pics of my MINI with it's new (actually 6 months old) wheels.
They are MSR 029 in 18 x 7 with Nitto Neo Gen tires.
Yes I know there is a wheel gap. No, I'm not lowering it.

Mini wearing the competition shoes while the street ones are taking a break.
Rota Slipstreams wrapped in Yoko Advans.
I'm really liking the white with the red and white roof. It looks faster
Certainly grips like crazy

rota rb with michelin pilots
Just installed my royal black Rota RB's and pilots. The ride is so much better than the RF's I cannot believe it. Now it doesn't look like an infinity FX SUV!
The roads are so bad here I thought I was going to have to employ a dentist full time to replace my fillings!
Cannot say how the handling is yet. Now its time to get a set of springs and get rid of the wheel gap.

how does new wheels and tires make the MINI look less like an FX?
