Cool, so I guess Hankook are not that bad... I know Hamann is a well-known company.

Anyway, I won't get Hankook tires when this set will be done. I only swear by Vredestein!

18" JCW wheels (not sure the actual wheel number) - performance run flat
16" Kosei K1 (soon to be V710's)
16" Web spokes (winter X-ice)
Your MCS looks sweet with those wheels....

BTW, MINI must be rare in Winnipeg..??

Just tried out the new (sacrificial) track day wheels. Kosei K1 Racing 16 x 7.5 w/Yoko ES100s that I got from a fellow NAMer. I'm not sure if I like them or not. The offset makes them a bit wide for my taste. And after 3 days, I understand why so few people have white wheels. And this is with EBC Greenstuff pads installed.

I love my black wheels on my pepper white S. I have H-sports springs and no rubbing with my 18's.
