How do the 18" wheels hold up in areas with bad roads? I have bent two oem 17" minilites in the past year. I live in Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania has some of the worst roads in the country. Both times it was caused by hitting potholes. Any advise?

You would have to move out of the East Coast. Add NY & NJ to the list of bad roads. Brought my SLites in for rotation all 4 rims are bent.

18x7.5, I believe 40mm offset. Not sure on the weight, but they're definitely lighter than the S-heavies.

yup.... chili red...under the translucent patio (winter car park) canopy, on a cloudy day.
The CR/CR roof setup contributes to the red looking a little different. It's not that common.
I became a red convert when I bought my M3. It was practically a fire engine.

Black on red = alright
White on red = pimple
Red on red = good under canopy or clouds.

Finally, I have the rims on my MINI. Thanks to TSW for the stud conversion kit.
Here is a first snap shot of my MINI with the 18" x 7.5" Work vs-xx. Will try to get some good pictures sometimes this week.
