First off, those wheels are CHEAP for some reason: https://parts.miniofkennesaw.com/oem-parts/mini-wheel-alloy-36116775855

Secondly, my Mini has terrible headlights, so the fogs are actually quite useful

Wow thanks for the link. If I ever ruin these I’ll definitely pick up a set of those if they’re still available.  Actually I like these a lot too.

Haha gotcha!

Although you may wanna get the R90 asap, I dont think they make em anymore.

The link I sent you are the post BBS wheels, so its 1 piece and heavy (21 lb each). Your xlites are like 16lb each iirc

The BBS wheels look the same but are 2 piece and weigh similar to the xlites. Those are like $400 each tho lol

Speaking of rally lights, I regret I didn’t have the opportunity to grab a photo but I saw a lifted rally (safari?)  Miata with lights on the roof today. Looked rough but so much fun.

Remind me, does it have the proper transmission, or a manual?

It’ll probably kill a couple of more wheel bearings on the way

Well yes if I’m honest it’s really the BBS wheels with the screws I covet especially since I drive  by one that lives near me pretty often. But $$$$
