... here are Scoop's new shoes.
17" MB Seven X wheels wrapped in Wanli 205/40ZR17's. Some creative Craigslisting on my days off gets me cheap but nice looking new shoes.

Very nice! How's the ride? Can you feel a difference in ride quality (as in harder) with the low profile?

Happy Motoring!

Very nice. The bigger wheel gives it a more aggressive look.

One of the primary reasons I wanted to change out the wheels/tires was for the tire ride alone. Mrs. Cupcake has some low-profile 205's and the sound difference is noticeably better compared to the run flats. On the way home I was actually able to hear the Journey CD playing in my CD player (yes -- Journey! You got a problem with that, folks?  )

Scoop I was sitting here when the Lights came on. One needs to Be Good To Yourself and go your Separate Ways just Ask The Lonely when the your Mini needs to be meet with Open Arms and given a little Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin. Don't Stop Believin those wheels are nice, remember you can have it Any Way You Want It. So greet your Mini with Open Arms and grab for that Wheel In The Sky.
Faithfully yours,
John
