Nicely done. Good choice. I as well have anthrasite wheels ( Konig Holes series ) to go with my double Dark Silver MCS, and like it. Except at night when they look too blacked out. I may just touch up some edges of the spokes to brighten up the rims a little.
She's lookin good, keep 'er up.
Cheers,

>>Morris County - Chatham Township....
Do you ever get together with others in the area. I would love to hangout sometime with other MINI owners, hear stories, etc...
MINI-MadMan, I know what you are talking about at night with the wheels. I was thinking the same thing when I first put them on. But, I am kinda liking it. I love how they seem to change into something totally different with the different lighting.

slapey - if you check out New York MINI, it covers the tri-state area, different runs & events. Pretty new site, good way to keep up with going - ons around NJ/NY/CT. Helix in Philly had a great rally / bbq last Saturday. But I'm always up for short drives, or just meeting somewhere to talk shop....

I will check out the site. I am always down for hanging out and "talking shop." I was going to go to the MiniCup at Helix last week as well, but I had something I could not get out of :evil:
As for the photos, I somewhat liked them. But, I want to spend an entire day doing it to get it right. Graduating with a photo degree can sometimes be a pain in the a**.

>>how do you like the toyos so far? comments?
I am loving the new rubber. They are just about as quiet as stock runflats, and stick to the asphalt like no ones business. I certainly have much more confidence going into a corner than I did before. I personally would highly recommend the tires...although I have not have much experience in the rain yet. (just some slight drizzle)

>>Thanks for posting the pictures.
>>Time for you to do more motoring.
>>Nice Flik Wasp-A rims, matches your MCS perfectly.
To be honest, that is all I have done since mid December when I picked the car up. 3 months, 7200 miles. At this rate, the warranty MIGHT last 2 years.

>>Very nice! I just cant make up my mind between Flik Wasp-A or ASA AR1 rims. Slapey, what is the size of your wheels? I guess 18" What is your tires size?
The wheels are actually 17" and I am running 204/45/17. I think the angle of the photos may have thrown you off in regards to the size.

buckass936,
Here is a thread about my wheel buying experience. I will just let the thread speak for itself
My experience here
zfxr,
I do have to buy some wheel locks. Although theft is not a big issue where I live, I do not want to chance it. Anyone know any good places to order from on the web?
MyPocketRocket,
I ordered the wheels from EdgeRacing. The package was a bit over 900 after shipping (should have been more, refer to thread above). And, no, the car is not lowered. The only reason I would lower the car is if I did not like the suspension in the car...and I do. Maybe one day it will get done, but I might as well enjoy it stock for at least 6 months. I did pay for it. :smile: Plus, I am not sure I want to scrape and rub everywhere I go (live in a hilly area)
