Hey Altuu, nice wheels. Many people don't care for the white wheels because of the extra work needed to keep them looking clean. I like 'em. Looks great on your Mini. Currently, I'm looking for something like your new wheels for my Mini. Nice choice for the white topped Mini!

thats the same tires I am getting. Is there any reason why you didnt go with 215's instead of 205's?

also what suspension do you have??

I am not much of an expert on automotive wheels, but they look great, relatively light, inexpensive, and no fuss for sizing. Changing to those from the OEM S-Lites is just a night and day difference in driving experience.

The only reason I did not do it sooner was I was just going to wear out the original tires then sell the wheels, I just do not drive much.

since my car is lowered i decided to stick with the same size tire that i had on there before i didn't want to chance it rubbing anywhere.

my suspension is either alta sport or h&r i can't remember at the moment hah.

night and day though with these wheels and tires compared to the s lites (i wanted to get rota grids with a deep concave but to much trouble on a mini) and run flats i had on before there's only one other car in my city with rota wheels and its my buddies evo x

He has rota grids:
