I currently have a MINI One with 17" Spokes but I am considering upgrading the wheels and lowering the car 35mm, the question I have is how will the ride of the car be affected, there is no sports suspension, so I am wondering if this will be a very hard ride:

These are the wheels which I will be purchasing:

I dont think so, you could get them sprayed!!!, or could you?

They do look awesome though, in the picture the car is lowered 35mm aswell which makes the wheels look even bigger

mmm cant wait

i think it will depend a lot on your spring choice. If you're currently running on the 17" with runflats, the change won't be extreme. The ride will still be fairly smooth but tighter in the corners. I know that's true with my FK lowering springs. Not too sure about others' experiences with other springs though.
