  • Detroit Tuned is busy

    Checked on the car this Saturday at Detroit Tuned. The wheels are much better looking in person, I was really worried that they were silverish. I was so used to the flat black.

    Chad continues to make progress and continues to amaze me with his attention to detail. Each bolt gets wire brushed then cleaned, then a coat or two of paint, and then a day to dry before being put back on.

  • DxR Wheels Powder Coated

    The new DxR wheels have been powder coated black. I will get to see them in person tomorrow. The photos make them look a bit ‘not’ black, but in the comparison pic between them and the old Focal F-05s they do look black. Hoping they are!

  • New Winter Rims

    Picked up my new winter rims today. Very cool very cool. I think I like them a bit more than the last ones with the red, that are for sale if interested.

  • Driveway full of 2005 MINIs

    Put summer wheels on both cars finally. Had to take a ‘couples’ shot. 🙂

  • Winter Rims

    Winter rims from Discount Tire (after Tire Rack screwed me over for a month)
    Drag wheels with Blizzak tires.
    Gotta paint out the red stripe as well as the chrome caps.

  • New Shoes

    Finally replaced my cracked and bent wheels. Seems strange to see the car with different wheels on it, as I had the last ones before the car was even in Michigan.
