That's exactly what I thought. Even before I bought my MINI I thought about getting Panasports. My dad had Panasports on his Miata so it's something of a family tradition now.

I intended to have the spokes done in black while leaving a machined lip. That turned out not to be possible, so I went for all-bronze powdercoat instead. I think it's a nice retro look to go with the PW paint.

Thanks for the compliment!

Nice. I was going to get those wheels in 17x8 front/rear with a 35 offset but then I got into a fender bender and there went my money..

How wide did you go? Looks like you went staggered with 17x9 in the rear? And a 35 offset? Looks good!

Ya buy that?

Here are some quick shots of Dad's and mine "matching wheels"...







We'll wash the cars soon, we "promise"... I promise mine, can't speak for him... lol... And he needs center caps for his wheels.. Other than that, it's an exact match!

Take care,
Leo.
