Default MINI Cooper -- wide wheels...

First and foremost...

yes, im getting coilovers sometime.. im on stock ride height. Ive got camber plates coming in this week. I need lower control arms for the back cause i cant tuck in these wheels unless i run mad camber.

and second i have to paint my headlight rings black, they look wierd chrome (they used to be black but i sold the other headlights)





Yeah that nasty curb rash is my brothers fault.

Heres old pic for reference of my konig remembers and black headlight.

Those don't look very wide. They'd look wider without little stretched tires on them.

You could have some nice grip if you put the right size tires on those.
