The white wheels are Exel TZ-10s- avail from www.wheelmax.com . haven't seen them anywhere else.
Nice advans, carver! Now all that space needs some fat brakes!

Your best bet is to PM ryephile and just ask him.

I finally had the time, spacers and wheels together at one moment to mount the new track tires and check the fitment. Everything looks/drives well and I'm loving the small wheel, go-kart look! Rota Slipstreams (black/polished) in 16x6.5 with 215/40/16 R-Comps.
And the 12mm spacers really put the front tires out there!

Totally agree. I will probably drop on some h-sport or m7 springs soon. Don't want to go to low here in the city, or I'd be scrapping all over the place.

Exactly - Thanks for the advice RallyMINI, I'll PM him & see if he is the chosen one. I also found a "Dezent" brand wheel that looks close....but no cigar!

What size tire are you running. It looks like you have a little stretch going on, which would be perfect for slamming the car...that is, if your roads allow it

I just got a reply that the wheels on the green MINI from Spain I was looking for are called PAROTECH MYGALE Wheels! Anyone know if they are still around or if they still make those wheels?

Here are my new rims. 18" OZ Ultraleggera's on Yokohama s.Drive's 215/35/18. Love the way that these look with the AB body color and match the black trim pieces pretty good. Love 'em!
Looks great BTW. I like the rims/color choice.

Holding out for the JCW BBK to see if that would be a good option but bigger brakes indeed.
I don't want to drop it too much as I have a big drop from my drive way to the road (rounded curb almost). The JCW suspension is what I have been looking at but if I find another option that doesn't lower too much I would be game for that.

35/18's That has to be a hard ride that makes your kidneys fall out.

Seeing the size of a 35 side wall was shocking at first but am happy with the choice.

Tambem es Portugues eh ? 
Eu sou de Cantanhede, zone de Coimbra (de Bairrada, terro dos Leitaos) mas estou ca a viver nos estados unidos a muintos anos. Mas eu vou la tudos veraos passa tempo com a familia e passiar. P@tas e Vinho Verde !
Now in english, yes i know they changed the name of that bridge, but i still like to call it the Salazar bridge after the dictator since it was originally called that anyway...
By the way, Car looks great! I usually dont like red too much since im not a "Benfiquista"

Sou da Madeira mas de momento estou em Lisboa a estudar.. Bom encontrar um Portugues cá.. ehheheh já tinha ficado na duvida porque fui ver a tua galeria e tinhas la uma foto com matricula portugues VT... Now in English, Yeah i call it 25 de Abril, but Salazar bridge is also correct. I'm not benfiquista too.. i don't like football. Glad you like my car.
