Good point, i will defo go to wheelmania and see what they look like first!

I started a thread a while back asking about various sizes and one guy posted up talking about his 19's. His car was lowered and said it rubbed on hard cornering etc, and he was running 19x7.5 / 8 i think. I think it would look sick with 19"'s but maybe not those ones.

Your a crazy man!

Infact if you go on rimstyle.com you can select your car and wheel size you want and it will show all proper fitments and wheels available to you. Just an idea

I have some 35mm springs on order! Will look better lowered! Ill check that site out! And i am a crazy man...just love my MINI to be totally different to the next persons PW/B MINI Cooper

An one more thing, if you got a flat spot with your 18's be stupidly careful with those 19's.

Ill have a look at that site too mate, i do agree with you Paul, the eye is with the beholder, but as others have pointed it will be appearing at shows so kinda gotta get other pepoles opinins etc. However, i wont get any i dont like! and i think ill still go with 19s and.........im gonna be sooooo careful with them! i think i may bubble wrap them before i drive them! haha.

Ill post my next ideas to see what people think
