Very nice!

I love the look of color matched rims. I wonder what the center's of my wheels would look painted hyper blue........hmm

I love the Clubman a lot.. But in a different way then the GP. The GP is a blast to drive, but it is what it is. You cant really do anything to personalize it. I dont want to mod it.. I want it to be stock. I had been wanting an other Mini to use as a daily driver and something to do mods on. So I had been waiting for the clubman to come to see how much I like it before getting anything else.. I had been driving a Scion Xb as my daily... Needless to say,, I have my mod toy

Thanks!

The wheels are 18x7.5 Motegi Touges in gunmetal and the tires are 215/35/18 Yokahama Prada Spec-2's.

Perhaps there was a sentence in there somewhere, but these R55s are novelty shoes made by unfortunate factory workers in Vietnam--certainly nothing to get either excited or defensive about.

Maybe someone will post some wheels next here in the wheel thread.

Yes! I look forward to seeing what people are doing to personalize their Motoring Mobiles.
