So true, you must do what makes you happy, hope people will appreciate and respect the hard work you've put into it, and maybe find some aspect of your mods they can enjoy. MINI's bring all of us together as one big happy dysfunctional surrogate family anyway.

Morales - Thanks for posting pics of the SSR wheels. I'm looking for a set of 18x7.5 wheels and those are on my short list because of the light weight. I'm just wondering how they will look on a GP ... and, whether I should be "concerned" that SSR doesn't make them any more.

Kouper - I'm looking at buying the same spec wheels (18x7.5 offset 42) and I am interested in real-world comments, too.
XAlfa - Most folks have been telling me 215/35 ... that might be the closest to yielding a reasonably accurate speedometer, and it might be a touch faster off the line, but I'm concerned by the "35" (thin) in terms of ride quality, wheel damage, and my wheel/tire setup potentially looking like I've got the car jacked up (this is for my GP, not my MCS). If you don't mind, could you post a few specifics on why you'd recommend the "40" ...

You are absolutely right! This thread is for pics of wheels. I wasn't paying enough attention when I saw the question about tires and then I posted a follow-up. Now let's see more wheels, indeed!
