Those are the ugliest wheels i've ever seen. If you want to get rid of them, I'd be happy to drive down from VA to take them off your hands.....

Im retired now but i was with the 160th Special Ops out of FT Capmbel KY(Night Stalkers)

Those are the ugliest wheels i've ever seen. If you want to get rid of them, I'd be happy to drive down from VA to take them off your hands.....
HA HA HA get in line... i didnt even had them on the MCS and people were offering me cash for them...lol but ill let you know.....

Hey,
Shout out to fellow NC'er you gonna do some runs with us this year...you need to wear some rubber off those tires.
tarheelminis.org
Oh yeah ive been on several runs with them im also on their website and we will be going to the Blue Ridge Parkway for slaying the dragon run....

looks nice, are those the sport max xxr 006?
Yes they are the guy put them on his car drove from the store and didnt like them (50) miles he posted them on craigslist and i haggle with the price and got them CHEAP!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, I Took DOC for a ride last night and of course took several exits... wooohooo!!! i like those tires... also before i switched the wheels my speedometer was 4 miles off according to the GPS and now the speedometer and my GPS MPH are only 1 mile off, while driving last night i got a lot of looks and thumbs up, is crazy what a set of wheels will do to your car.... then again "ANY" Mini Cooper S is sexy as it stands.

Wheels are Sportmaxx 006 18x 7.5 et-42
Tires: are 225/40/18 BFG KDW (they feel 100% better / smoother than the runflats)
Suspension: i have NM lowering springs and 22mm swaybar
