If you have some "extra" $$$ - about $5,490 to be specific-, you can have all the goodies Palo Uber MINI offers in addition to the wheels (and the lights)

I like the wheels.. and the lights.. but the burlwood dash is a bit much.. Their exhaust is kinda cool and I'd like to see it in person.

i bought from these guys before and will NEVER EVER deal with them again, bad customer service. Not worth the trouble!!
They don;t even install their own product, they have EF1 motorsports do their work, which they still have my wheel!! this is after 2 months already!!! no ones even bothered to call, sad, sad way to do business!!

By the looks of the wheels I'm going to guess they are RH (Racing Hart) C2 1-pc... Looks very nice... They look to be 17s... Maybe a 215/40? What springs are you using?

Ken,

I just ordered some of those too. I got them today. The wheel covers are nice, but the MINI wheels are so small, that the bag just barely fits (or fits perfectly depending on how you look at it).

Dave

thanks for the headsup, Dave! im going to put my G35C wheels
in there which are significantly larger dia than the MCS, so should be
okay... hopefully! i plan to to my factory wheels in
there now and then swap with my summer wheels by Oct so that
should be a good fit.

i didn't order the felts though. im going to put my usual mirror
sheet and cardboard in there and just wrap the whole thing. the
felts are only like 20" dia where as my G35C GT3's are 19"... too
close to the edge!
