They look good, did you put on sticky hankook's? A side view would be good.

Nice photography of the MINI.

Very nice wheels, tires, and car.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. They are great tires, inexpensive, sticky, wet traction is awesome. At $97 a tire installed, perfect tire. Although the local hankook shop scratched my R90s when they put them on.

Thanks! Yep they're Hankook Vetus V12 Evo's. Didn't get a side view last night. Ran out of sunlight. Had a photoshoot planned today, but it rained. I'll get some side views when it quits raining.

Awesome photo! Those are some ominous looking clouds overhead and some awesome looking wheels & tires. They look like they belong on your MINI. Great job!

those are nice wheels for ur mini, I don't think they would look good on any other car. Great picture, it almost looks like the aliens are ready to take it to their spaceship...

No way man, don't worry, those wheels are sick! They work great with your colors. I looked at them when I was getting my wheels, but wouldn't have matched my future visions. Great choice.
