Ecilpse Gray Cooper S with 18 in wheels

Hello everyone, just purchased the Mini S and wanted a change so I went with the 18x7.5 wheels that i bought from Waylen at Way Motor Works. Waylen was very helpful and got these shipped to me in 2 days. Wheels were 279.00 ea and i went with the 205-40-18 Michelin Pilot Sports which are a very nice tire. The rides is smoother then the stock run flats which i will take any day. I bought the TPMS from tire rack. I was going to lower it a bit but for a daily driver i think i will stay with the stock suspension for now. Here is the before and after pictures.

I took my JCW in for service a week ago - my loaner was Eclipse Grey - I would have bought one this color had I known it looked so good - the stocker had black wheels and looked like a race car!

Looks great! Although a mild drop would tie everything in perfectly!

I would love to, but she drives it most of the time. Its just a matter of time until she hits a pot hole.

Yep, nice choice in your Mini, and nice choice of wheels! Now I know what ours would look like with those wheels!


And yes, DAMN your garage is immaculate! I want mine to look like that, too.
