MrCooperS,
That would be great
Can't see the pic, can you repost? I've got the Clubman HC and have been going back and forth about Bronze vs. all black. Can you photoshop bronze and black on a HC clubman? I'd love to see if the bonze is close to the Hot Chocolate color.

Some quick photos of the new wheels I put on last Friday afternoon. Excuse the wheel gap. Will be working on that next with coilovers.

Pepper White with Black Wheels ?

Hi,

Just ordered a MCS R56 Pepper White black roof with black stripes additional driving lights and cannot decide between two sets of black wheels. (Black R108 multi Spoke and the Black Crown Spoke) Both are 17s
Need an opinion.

This is the wrong thread for an opinion. This thread is for pics. Start your own advice thread or find a place more appropriate to ask for opinions.

Wow those look GREAT! Something tells me that Mini missed the boat by not getting a set of these on the cars from the factory.

we're building a MINI application wheel database over on M/A...showing all kinds of options. if you spend the 2 minutes to contribute, you can get a free sticker for participating (limited to first 300 users so hurry). Makes it VERY easy to browse possible wheels for your car

I had 19 wheels on my M3. I do not miss the extra weight. I do not miss the extra expense. Tires for my 17" wheels cost about half what they did for my M3. Do you really want 19s? They will give you a harsher ride, you will lose acceleration and braking performance due to extra rotational/unsprung mass, and more prone to wheel damage from curb rashing and potholes.

But you will quality for a custom chrome DUB Edition scuttle.

Those look great!. Are you using spacers to bring those wheels out? Also, where did you pick them up from? Thanks

I am not using spacers yet. I do plan to. Maybe 5mm or 15 mm I bought them from "Wheels Next". They are a new wheel. The wheels just came out in February. Available in several colors.

Very cool Mike. Next DE I'll have to talk you into following me for a session with your Motorsports Hero.

I think I know what my birthday present will be this year.

I like the smaller wheel better.

Looks like you park the Mini in a dark recess of the parking structure.

Can't decide whether to ask for a GoPro for Father's day or something else.

Just in the basement garage of my loft downtown. The pic below is when we first moved in. I've since replaced the yellow Cooper with the black Cooper S JCW.
