New Wheels & Tires

Finally got some time to clean up the Mini and show off my new Wheels. Got a set of 16in Panasports with Falken 205/50/16 Z512's. I've had them on for about 500 miles now and I love them. The handling is superior to the stock skins by far and they hanle great in the rain, I travel 90 mi round trip to work. They also feel a lot smoother than stk, and noise is no more than stk. I paid $85.00 mounted and balanced for the tires locally. Here's a few pics
