A bit small but nice shot.
I would love to go to Arizona with our MIMI. It's a drive from Western PA though.

The wheels and tires are both new, we bought it with 16" wheels. Upgraded to the R112s and went with Sumitomo HTR A/S P02s from Tire Rack.

Very extremely nice. How's the ride compare to the NM set up? Great color choice, too.

Thank you MiniRoadstah.
The ride is much softer compare to the V2 which I used to have on my R53, however it is firmer than the NM Eng springs + stock sport shocks. It feels much more stable on freeway speed and zero body roll when cornering. I set up the ride height on the highest point since it is my daily daily commute car, ride comfort is the reason I switch from the H&R club sport kit to NM Eng to KW. I think KW will stay.

Very nice !!! I have to do coilovers on the R58 JCW , possible might go with the new Forge Motorsport ones. I like those V1 also.

I second that motion! Looks really good... something about that blue that really makes your car pop Spiney. The best thing about the roadster, top up, top down, always classic great looks. You've done a superb job, from wheels to driving lights and everything else.
