I see you've done quite well on your own. Good looking wheels, my friend. Would those be *gun metal* windows on those wheels?

I think the recessed centercap matches the way that the rest of the wheel looks. The outline of the centercap with the recessed centercap inside looks like how the rest of the spokes are thin outlines of the 'empty' areas.

Probably you understood what I was saying before I tried to explain it, but yeah.

Anthracite - that's the word I was looking for! They do look good on that Cooper. Have you thought about a roof spoiler? It changes the whole profile IMO - would look .

First, welcome to NAM! Second, your new wheels are sexy. I have a few questions:

Are they 17"?
What size tires?
Did you get them from Discount Tire? If not do you mind me asking where....?
Are you lowered or at the factory ride height?

Thanks! I wasn't really digging the 16s that were on it and was looking for an excuse to get them off the car.
