How much are those wheels? I love the look lof the web-spoke type. I wonder if thell look good on my Mellow Yellow? I'm on tirerack and found them but dont give a price? Then I put in 2007 Mini Cooper S and the model you have dont show up. Confusing LoL.

I like these wheels. BBS RXll http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...l+w%2FMach+Lip

Why no price?

If that lasts more than 4 hours make sure you see a doctor.

Weird, Photobucket always resizes them automatically. My mistake for not checking, will be sure to do so in the future. Even so that doesn't quite adhere to the definition of spam though...

Yeah, I was playing it kinda fast and loose with the word "spamming". The forum resizes them too, but they have to fully load first. Anyway, back to the R56 pics...

No price b/c they are discontinued I got lucky and picked up a lightly used set just a few weeks ago. I'm told they were over $400 each, new, but I paid just $1k for the set. The classifieds section of this site is a goldmine, keep your eyes on it!

Those RXII's are hot, but are probably a) prohibitively expensive and b) no fitment available for the MINI. If you plug in your car you should get the available models. BBS CV's can also be had, but not from tirerack (they go for abut $290 a piece or so). And yes it would look good on your MY!

Hmm. Maybe I should paint my Mini with a Spam theme. Can anyone photo shop the spam label onto the Mini?

OK. That's some funny sh**.

There is an antique pickup truck here in town that has a huge catfish on top of it. It is not advertising anything. It just has a huge catfish on top. I think it rules. Come to think of it, he might be the grand marshal in the catfish day parade.

Ahhh, so YOU'RE the guy who snaked those wheels out from under me by offering $350 more than the guy was asking. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Oh well, $ talks I suppose. They do look awesome on your car! (but they would look better on mine )

AshleyKS, great car! Those R90's look fantastic.
There is one thing I can't help but comment on though: your front windshield sticker. While I like the placement and message, that typeface is truly horrific! Just my opinion of course, but I think it could look a lot better if set in a slightly less childish/"kooky" typeface.

Again though, beautiful car.

LOL so you think I should get a newer sticker with 'meaner' looking font?

Where's that Kolache shop at? When I lived in Austin, we used to get Kolache's all the time. Don't see them around Arkansas much. Used to get them at the Czeck stop in West, Tx as well.

Kolache shop is in Clute (near Lake Jackson), I was going to get some good old shops with Coop in Camp Wood (in Hill Country) but I haven't had the chance yet.

That would be good ol comic sans. Lots of fun results from a google image search such as this one:
