This is my P-chop of my car, probably the setup I'm gonna run next spring. They're only 17", but 7.5" front, 9" rear.

If you're familiar with these wheels, which are borbet type A's, I'm gonna go with flat caps instead of the ones in the picture.

Here's another pic of the wheels with flat caps. I came from the VW/Audi scene, so it's hard to get away from the euro style. not alot of people will like these wheels on a MINI, but to each their own

drop but will do the h-sports (~1" drop) if it means no rubbing. What do you think. Will 18x8 rub of dropped? I personally don't think I'll have a problem but was wondering what you all think. Thanks.
Hey 02///MCS, I'm running Axis Mesh 2 19x8 with an Eibach Pro Kit drop (1" Front, 1.2" Rear) I get full steering lock and no rub what so ever. These Wheels have a 47 offset and they fit like a glove.
Now these pics are not lowered yet, I just haven't had a chance to take more photos recently.

The wheels are not the se7en mods. They are the Supermesh, they are not listed on the Axis website any more because they were replaced with the Axis Penta. I'd get the Penta but the smallest size they come in is 19". Which for my taste is a bit much as I don't want to sacrifice too much performance. If someone could photoshop the Supermesh onto an MCS I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
