    Got the rubber mounted on the new 18"s today:

    Getting them home was fun - it never fails to amaze me how much you can cram into a Mini...

    I like those simple open spoke designs, makes the car look nice and light.

    No fouling, even at full wheel lock... Thanks to Mark (CHKMINI) for confirming the right tire size - the lower-profile rubber seems to have done the trick! :Thumbsup:

    Now I have to order new MINI logo center cap stickers and I'm done (for now)...

    Really like the wheels, they look excellent!! Now I'm thinking I should've gone with 18's as well when I got new wheels a few months ago...oh well

    I agree! Nice looking wheels Matt. Are you keeping the stockers for winter driving?

    I'll keep ONE of my sets... not sure which. Amy's getting my web-spokes and I'll keep either the 17" S-lites or my 16" X-lites, not sure which...

    Personally I would keep the 16's if you're going to mount snows or all seasons.

    With the weather we have been having I think I would tie my house to the S-Lights to make sure it does not blow away :)
