How much difference do you notice between the new and old? Does the ten pounds really equate to handling changes?

That's 40lbs at the wheels... I can imagine a slight difference... but really... did you get them sponsored? If so, that says more than anything.......

Holy Moly! Those things are so bad! Good choice! I'm usually very partial to black wheels, but those are stunning. I'm seriously psyched for you! They look great!

Damn, that looks SWEET! Personally, I would've preferred the silver CE28n's, but the bronzes still look very nice!
I really liked it when I found out the Mini comes in a lug pattern that's most common on japanese cars...there's so many nice wheels in the japanese market.

turn in & off the line (low end) improved & less tram lining ...

Is it just me or does the Mini look very small in the second pic. But hey the rims work really well with your car color!!
