holy crap Rally ... that looks brilliant!
post up some different views.
The Chocolate paint looks ace, but I can't help but think that the gold centers like you had on your previous car would work wonders with the HC car.

Thanks for the compliments......last car had gray centers but it did have gold bolts. I like the subtler brown rather than a bright gold. Just my personal style though.

I would, but my car arrived and it's 12.5% smaller than actual size. I was pretty bummed

a little bit OT (but not that much). How much torque do I use to install wheels on my 08 Clubman?
Thanks

hmmm ... jbcola, you usually hit it right out of the ballpark, but this wheel looks too big in my opinion. really gives it that wagon wheel effect.

Nah, that car was just a prop for MTTS.
Okay, I have no official idea, but I believe that both S-Lites and Crown Spokes were options for the '08 Clubman.

The Crown Spokes are a factory optional wheel on a Clubman S. The chrome S-Lites are an available accessory wheel for any MINI that they will fit on.
