The MINI is pimpin'

Finally after alot of screwing around with DHL the rims came, unfortunantly the color was wrong, I wanted gunmetal/polished but got Steel Gray, I got a good deal and wasn't in the mood to wait any longer so I bought them anyways. Here's what they look like.

Rota Subzero 18x7.5
Toyo Proxes T1R 215/35/18

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Actually they are pretty cheap! For you americans, check www.subydude.com and europeans: www.rarerims.co.uk

They do come in black with polished lip, I was going for that, then they didn't have that in stock so I went gunmetal, then I ended up with Steel Gray. haha. Oh well.

Wow, that size looks great!

Are you running springs? If so, what kind?

I think I need to go with 18s now. I thought I was set on 17s, but those look just right on size.

How is the ride? Better / Worse? Were you on s-lites and runflats before?

Great choice, again!

No springs, yet, hopefully I'll get me some soon.


I was running OEM X-lites before, 195/55/16.

I'll get back to you on the ride, it was raining all day when I put them on so I havn't really driven much on them.
