I had those on my last Cooper but they did not last very long:(they were replaced under warranty and the second set went the same way and got replaced with a different style:)

Firstly, Love those style of wheels. Think they suit the mini really well!

Question for you guys - My experience with cars , I upgrade suspension then stick a set of 17" / 18". However from the pics it seems mini owners can get away with 18", standard mini suspension and not look like a 4x4. Is this true??

I ran my 18's on standard suspension for quite a while and it looked fine, but I think it looks even better now the car is lowered
