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.

Needs an actual size sticker.
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.

I also have the 18" JCW's. The car looks lowered some because I'm running 225/40's. Don't worry, I have the JCW center caps now.

With 225/40's the car is actually raised higher off the ground than stock

I like the color combo

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.

Thanks. They may be for sale in the future. Keep an eye out. I have five of them thanks to some cosmetic damage to one of them.
