Looks great! I wish Fort Knox was my personal bank account. Then I might afford Hamann wheels too. Congrats! :smile:

wouldn't call you a ricer...ricer's would be buying imitation HRE's or Hamanns at Pep Boys or Sears. There's a reason why the HRE's and Hamann's cost $$$ - build quality and materials.

The wheels are gorgeous! Very classy.

The tires on the other hand look like they're about 2" too narrow for the wheels. Of course, even the stock MINI tires are stretched on the rim like a 1980's low-rider. What's up with this trend?

maybe but i heard stories. like calling daytons, killer daytons cuz if the spinner wasn't put on tight it would fly off and the whole rims would just roll away, very bad.



but thanks for everyone's comments, i've only just begun.....

Miniphyter808...wheels look sharp. In fact seeing all these wheels almost makes me want to buy more. Of course that's not going to happen....

Beautiful rims!! Tint out those side markers to really show them off.

I just think the 18s might be one shoe-size too big for a Cooper.

>>(BTW, the spinner thingy is a knock off and is hit with a brass hammer to remove the wheels - probably b4 your time) :smile:

Oh, now you made me think about my long lost love...my BRG '59 Triumph TR3A.
God, I miss it.
[thinking back]-oil leaks, electrical problems, fuel pump problems, carb problems...naah, don't miss it that much!
