:cornut: Welcome! Welcome! Do check out the forums. There are threads on tires and wheels for every model and year of MINI. There's also a Sponsors list from which you can get your wheels at a discount and as every one here is watching, they'll treat you right. Also remember that the lighter the wheels(light weight MINI wheels weigh 24lbs each, my OZ Allegerettes weigh only 14lbs each) and tires(runflats weigh at least 5lbs more than nonrunflats each), the tighter the suspension as you've dropped unsprung weight. Your thinking is good. Wheels/tires first to decrease unsprung weight, tighten the suspension, and make the car look more 'You.' Jason
