Those blend perfectly with the lines of your car. Good job! I've seen those wheels on-line before but I can't recall where. What brand of wheel are those?

I know it's basically just a stock LB/B w/ black wheels and a drop, but I love it
Thanks Amigo! (Also have the homemade Magnaflow 3" exhaust)...more mods coming, but not soon enough, haha

Do it. At first they look a little off, then they start growing on you like a fungus. Dark wheels and subtle red accents (like brake calipers) help, too.
Thanks!

They don't seem to sell them anywhere, really. Finding them on ebay was a freak occurrence.
Try wheeldude.com or subydude.com; but you'll likely have to special order a set.
Thanks for the compliment, mate.

Front and Rear have a 1" Lip
Here you go..
Midnite, car looks Hot ! Love the BBS Rs;s
Where did you find those ? I just wish they would re-release those into the market. I Love my HRE's but i would sell my HRE's for those in a sec

I can't say if their redrilling job is not the best or done "properly", I haven't heard any bad reviews about them (yet) but what I can say, considering the RS are no longer available, this is the only way you can have the RS fit a MINI without a long wait. Now if you are lucky and patient, RBMotoring will get 4x100 18" RS from time to time.
