Thanks

I do have the 18s... and with my JCW (supersoft) suspension, the ride is still really nice

(shhhh dont tell chad but i like the ride in my car with 18s and JCW more than his Koni/17 combo

)

Yes the infamous G-U-M-B-A-L-L.

No those rims and that car are the schweetness in person. The thing I like about hers is they don't like huge like other 18s but they look bigger and more proportional than 17s.

NICESH!!! Did you swap out your runflats or is that new rubber too? Judging from the stance, looks like you got those springs installed also?

Very nice!

How much do I have to lower my Mini Cooper to get it the same hight as yours? Now it's on stock springs...

I like the Kosei the best. Have you looked at Centerline wheels? The Storm and RPM are closer to the Kosei, they are relatively inexpensive, and also light.
