What do you reckon? I'm not sure about looks, they looked great in the showroom......

Still Bad Dog finally has some teeth to hold on with!!!

Elliott likes them as well he's just piddled on them... NICE!!!!

[sleepyrascal]

think it looks pretty good. would look even better if the car was lowered a wee bit. It's just that gap between the arch and wheel.

Lurvely wheels sir! :D

Looks good Paul, need to invest in some Eibach springs now :D

My wheels are due in 64 days - and counting :cool:

[The Dogfather]

Martin, 64 days how come they're taking so long?

[The Dogfather]

Just decided - White bonnet stripes are going to come off and be replaced by a couple of black viper stripes down the centre.......

[MartinSullivan]

It was a group buy on mini2 - they are being specially made in a factory in china

[The Dogfather]

Oh, slow boots from China!

[Duncan Stewart]

Look really "chunky" - nice :D. What size are they and how do you find the ride / grip? I don't think the car looks to high although the photo angle perhaps exaggerates the front wheel arch gap.

[The Dogfather]

I've gone from 15" 175/65 to 17" with 205/45 tyres, the ride is no worse but I've noticed its less bouncy. Have test grip to the limit yet but there seams to be a lot more sticking power!

[M4XNS]

Yup I'm liking them too and also agree with black stripes :)

I've noticed a huge difference in handling and Bounciness with my new wheels, the runflats although a good idea in theory are just too hard.

Was thinking of getting mine lowered but not sure if i'm into feeling more bumps again !!

[The Dogfather]

I'm happy with the ride height as is (it's sports +) , the roads round Turriff are a bit iffy and last thing I want to do run out of ground clearance.
