Thanks, Herman and roofaS. 
I'd like to add some negative camber to both the front and rear, but you know that my plates can't give me any more than 0.5 (perhaps I should post something on this...)
As for the meet, not likely - got a guest to host that evening.
Say, does anyone else have these wheels (or the Work Emotion XT7 on which they are based)?

And only really meant for track purposes or for show. Not something you'd want to eff up on the way to work.

Do you happen to have a pic of a 3/4 front view in daylight? Great wheels

Any chance you could give us one more pic of the whole car, in better light? What's there now suggests that these rims deserve a better showcase!

If someone were to give me a set, I'd eff em up on the way to work. On the way home too. Probably all year long with a set of snow tires.

That7Guy, I like your wheels a lot. What are they?
I know what you mean by waiting for the AR2's. I called a Canadian supplier today and they told me end of July beginnig of Aug
.
I thought I'd found my wheel when I saw this image:
Hmm, I don't think that picture worked properly. Anyway heres the link

Nice on the red Cooper, but I think theyd look great on my Pure Silver! Sadly summer would be almost half over by the time I got them.
My search continues.....

Thanks, they are Enkei OR52
Someone at TireRack told me they would have a shipment first week of June. I was planning on ordering sometime next week! I'll have to double check with someone.

Mmm don't tease me! I just sent a PM to Alex asking when they would be in stock. I'll be ordering ASAP. Last time I got an email from tirerack claiming the AR2's didnt fit the MINI. Obviously thats not true....

Ahh thanks UKCoopeR!
That7Guy, are you running stock suspension?
According to TireRack website they will be avail 07/25/08. It's definately worth looking into personally with Alex probably.
Again, I like yer wheels/car, they're a great combo. The AR2's might be more dress but your Enkeis look fast...

Finally, some pics of BRR (pronunced BRE - the last R is silent) 
I want to give big thanks to TUNERBARS for the creative design of my "64 Rally", BR RACING for the performance tuning, and SPEEDLINE DESIGN for the long hours designing and painting my custom F1 helmet and side mirrors (pics not available yet).

just got off the phone with Alex. 7/25 ship date is what they currently know.
now I'm reconsidering the AR2s, I'd only get to run them a couple months before the snow tires went back on up here!
