    I thought about it but decided on red to mimic the works edition mini cooper - $51k sticker price at the dealer :shock:



    like I said, I need to take some better pics, specially some shots from the top, the car looks absolutely gorgeous, I already had 3 other mini driver's asked me what edition mini this was - 'Vlad my ride' edition.. LOL :D

          Yeah I know its got a critical difference of some sort which prevents it from being compatible with E30 rims.

            I'm not sure what the offset is but I'm sure that plus center bore is 1 of the reasons I've only seen 2 e30's with mini wheels and they were online. They were running spacers too.

                      That really sucks. I just found this thread for the first time and was reading through it. Then out of nowhere this happens. Sad :(

                      Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
