Nice monochromatic look
What do your HRE's on the MINI weigh, and what tires are you running?

Cheers,
Ryan

>> Why are HREs so expensive?

Same reason Keds cost $15 and Nikes cost $100. Both will last, but you pay for the swoosh.

I think that HRE's are the sickest wheels on the planet. I wanted to put 18" HRE's on my black mini, but they cost too much for my pee-on salary right now. I think that out of all the rims that I have seen mini owners putting on there cars these are the best looking. Most of you guys say ricer wheels for everyting, in case you guys didn't notice ssr's and all of those autocross wheels you guys use are all over japan and the states on little civics and subaru's and other "ricers". All of my uncles have HRE's on there cars and they look like nothing else. Last remember some of you also pay a freakin boat load of money for little stuff, like those super high priced interior chrome kits, carbon bonnet scoop (does what?), and better yet how about the $1000.00 intercooler that does the same thing as the original (can you say heat soak and same size bonnet scoop).

Sorry, I had to vent. Plus, I gotta defend my Miami crew.
MCSMIAMI if no one has invited you yet, come check out the meets at the Tower Shoppes on Fridays (haven't gone in the last couple of weeks, so not sure if you already go). If you need the address, let me know. BTW your mini is sick.

(this was not for everyone, just those of you that had haterade today).

Later,

the rims are ok, they look decent on your car, but way overpriced. I can think of alot of better ways to spend a couple grand.

regardless what it think. If you like them, and are happy with them, then just ignore the haters,
