That was Autobahn Country Club in Joliet. Windy City BMW club put on the event. Check out their website. Also, there's been some discussion on this forum in the Chicago MINI Motoring Club section about track events this year!

Great find; where did you locate those?
What's the offset? Very excited to see those on your vehicle.

I'm pretty set on getting some OZ's for my JCW Coupe. In fact it's the same color scheme as yours. I'm looking to go with black but I can't decide between the ultraleggera or the alleggerita hlt's. Your pictures are making the decision for me! Great looking Mini you have!

Don't mind you asking at all.

I originally ordered a set of Rotiform NUE's back in early December. In the meantime, while waiting, I ordered the tires from The Tire Rack. I found out recently the Rotiforms would not ship until the end of February at the earliest. I didn't want to wait and canceled the order and ordered the Breytons from Tire Rack.Now you know the rest of the story.

But looking forward to sharing pics with ya'll later this week.
