Thanks Kenchan and Joker. The wheels are nothing special but will do for now. I'm lucky that my wife lets me play with the mini since I already have my hands full with the other car.

Joker, the wheels are 18x7.5.

I don't have them anymore, but these Starcorp Alloy 17x7's were under my arches for a few months...They did the opposite of 'grow on me' - whatever that may be...

just curious why your screen name is "black05MCS"?

It's not Black.

It's not an 05'.

and It's not an "S".

Hi

Good question, I am awaiting delivery of my black 05 MCS and had changed my username in anticipation Should have the new MCS in the next two weeks. The red Cooper goes to a good home (I hope)

I did not choose those tires. They just came with the package which kind of upset me when I ordered them on the internet. I will be getting 215's very soon.

not the corners.
