In general, UK roads are not pothole-infested and 18" rims are tolerable and a viable option (this is a UK-spec car). Many UK MINI owners also seem far less preoccupied or hung-up on unsprung weight .

Only because they have not experienced the ecstasy of shedding it. I went from S-Lites and Runflats to 16lb forged 18s and conventional tires, losing almost 20 lbs per corner. The difference was amazing.

offset = 52 mm

They are available in the bright turned (as on DCM's MINI) or flat black.

Guess I'm just an evangelist, trying persuade others to accept the Lord (Colin) Chapman into their lives as I have.
