I meant to add...they are 17" Mille Miglia HT3's.....with Kumho 712 tires. I will be using my stock 16"s for winter driving.

I haven't really noticed a big change with handling, but the ride is noticeably rougher....and I love it.

I love it, DiDi is lookin' HOT, congrats Lauren
I think that if anything, you'll notice your wet traction to be much improved.
Have fun, and Motor-On,
Ryan

Sweet! Looks really really sharp. If you tinted the windows on that puppy and changed the front amber turn signals to clear ones that still flash amber, the car would look even better (not very easy to do at this point!).

They look great with your MINI's color scheme! :smile: I'm just glad I'm not the one cleaning brake dust off of each of the "10" spokes.
Again, great combo with your colors.

Excellent choice on the black paint for the calipers! Understated...which is good.
