Thank you. I thought they would match and bring out the Oxygen blue color out of the car, but its pure slave work to keep them clean. I was warned by eveyone and my MA has a mini too and he was on me about not changing to the white wheels because they dirty really easily and its very noticable and you will live to clean them constantly...boy was he right 
....even though I clean them every single day (yes i spoil him, i don't care, he deserves it he has to put up with me daily)....i still love them

if you're tempted by the sti, take a second look at the wrx. the 09 is vastly improved from 08. It apparently has an upgraded turbo with additional boost, boosting the power from 224/226 to 265/244. 1/4 at 13.1 seconds or something like that, it's a crazy deal given the price.

traded in. glad to have gotten rid of all of the trips to tacoma to get my cold start issue fixed, windows re-programmed, sunroof re-adjusted, rattles fixed, etc.

Bet you could have sold those rims!!! Anyhoo, have fun with your new toy. I recently bought a new(er) toy too... finally got my '08 MCoupe. Not a good car for a daily driver though...It guzzles down the gas but oh so fun doing it. Might be selling my Mini as well soon!--Chad

Dave! Wow....sorry to hear about your Mini troubles! Mine has not been without some annoying rattles and problems too. You traded it in without parting out any goodies on your Mini?

I love those mcoupes.
yea, i sold it with the goodies on it... that wasn't quite the plan, but i got put into a tough situation at the dealer... it was the only blue wrx 5door i could find in the area, and 2 people had come to test drive it while I was trying to find out how much they'd give me for my mini. I figured I'd make probably 500 or so on the rims, and a few hundred on the other suspension stuff, it just wasn't worth it to me, I wanted the blue bad enough.
the warranty issues just got the best of me. A 1 year old $30,000 car shouldn't have those issues.
