Rota SVN's... not something commonly seen on da MINI'z

Ordered in Feb... finally got them! Special order will help keep them fairly exclusive! 17x7.5 +42 with 225/45-17 Falken 615's. I really wanted to do 235/40's, but I didn't want to run spacers, and it would've been pushing it. Also, putting these nice tires on it re-confirmed my hatred for runflats (ran the stockers for the winter).

Anywho... without further ado.. the obligatory pictures.







I apologize for the somewhat crappy pics.. I was running out of daylight. I'll try and get some mo betta ones soon.

Also, shameless plug.

Nice wheels! Nice tires too. I think 235s in those would have been pushing it aesthetically for me, as wide as they run for their size, w/o a wide body kit, but that's just me

stock front tophats? I think you need some camber plates...the front track appears to be wider.

yeah, stock tops on Koni's. I have about -2 degress of camber in the rear, did it last year to fit my 18's I had. I know I need camber plates up front, but I doubt I'm going to order them.... we'll see I spose.

looks great, glad to see you got them when they said you would.

I'm still wheel less. Regret not ordering when I had the chance.
