What size are these wheels 18 or 17 and is your car dropped? These look alot like the motegi sp10 which are what im looking at. Also what size tire? Also where did you buy then from?

Stunning car! What suspension are you running and did you need spacers to clear the struts?
Thanks.

It seems like you have to drop an R56 a lot more than an R53 to make it look any good. I guess that's because they start life looking like SUVs...
Aww shucks, did my bias just slip out?

Nice lookin' ride, btw!

DrPhil - they look better with a blacked-out beltline, it drops the visual height of the car. That said, they do seem to have a larger fendergap than the R53's.

You can always do this, however, and CELEBRATE the fender gap!

Haha that looks like a cute little beach buggy.

I love the JCW wheels, if only they were wider with better offsets.

Oxybluecoop, looking good.

That is sick. With the perspective of the red car in the background, it really makes this MINI look like the new Crossman coming out.
