went from stock 15" to a set of JCW Cross spokes from an 09 Clubbie! Bitchin for an un modded R50. Like that hampster says on the KIA commercial, you can get with this......or you can get wit dat!

Ah! I had Neova AD08's for my last set and I should have gotten them again, much better tires than my current ExtremeContact POS.

We go for Dis and Dat, Molly (my '08 Justa') and SMAUG (Husband's Kia Soul Shadow Dragon SE#3)!!
It is amazing how a simple change like a set of Wheels can change the look of a MINI and take it from getile to Grrrrrrrrr!!

Nice!

Did you need spacers up front to clear the calipers?

Looking good! I must say they look better on a black MINI. When I had them on mine, it was so-so
