    Okay, I'll jump first...I like it!
    Didn't think I would, but I truly do.
    How about a profile shot showing front and rear all together?
    How about a few specs; what diameter, what offset and what tire size?

    *Disclaimer: I am old school British Iron. Still have my 59 Bugeye Sprite I bought when I was 13 yrs old (32 years ago) and it's on wires as well. Though sadly, not on the best of the breed - Borrani's!

    So this is the other phot I have but the back wheel is in the shadow:

    and yes the Pilot is filthy but I had different priorities on that day.
    16 x 6.5 with a stock offset I think so no spacers were needed.
    Don't even say I should lower the MINI. It's a daily driver and has been for 5 years so I'd have snow issues if it was any lower (already have issues some days).

    Love the wheels. Something we have always thought would be cool since we bought our MINI and saw this MINI with Daytons:

    Those wires are a nice look. :Thumbsup:

    Having lived with wires in the past I'll stick with my non-wobbly modern wheels. :D
