Somehow that seems to suit the Clubman, but you really need to get some curb feelers!

Nice. I love the look of your Clubman with the VW influences.

Do you have any pics of the air ride setup?

That looks like a nice set up. Can't wait to lower my car more.

And I just got a set of 16's for when I finally get coilovers.

Question, can you buy wheels alone from a MINI dealer or will none of them have any in stock? I'm surprised how many OEM wheels on Clubmen don't show on the MINI website. Also, are the wheels for the Clubman S the same width/diameter as the base Clubman?

You CAN, but why? They're a whole lot more expensive than you'll find 'em used or as take-offs, and there's a GYNORMOUS selection of aftermarket wheels that will fit the Minis. Heck, this thread alone is 170 PAGES!

Anything that fits the Clubman S will fit the base Clubman.

Check www.tirerack.com, use their wheel tool and you can get all the dimensions and selection you'll ever need. Also check elsewhere 'round the wheel and tire forum for more ideas and information - good luck!

Cheap, yet nice looking and only required one 1/4 oz. weight to perfectly balance all four.

Those wheels look soooo good! That's the look I've been looking for for the past year! Where did you get those? How much are they? What's the weight? Are TSW a good brand? Are they strong? Any more close up pics? What color are those?
