Ever since I saw a black mini with black rims I fell in love with that combination. When shopping for a new Mini Cooper S I found out John Cooper Works offered a set of 18 inch matt black rims.
Recently I found a good picture of the rims on a new R56 Cooper S:
The R105 Double-Spoke 18-inch light-alloy wheels come in three variants: matt black, burnished with black cavities or composite and it’s available for all Mini models.
A 5 minute long promotional video of the new R56 Cooper S. I don’t like the exhaust / engine sound to be honest but it handles like a dream, it’s incredible how much fun you can have in it!
I ordered my 2007 Mini Cooper S today! It’s my first Mini but the testdrive proved I made a great choice. Mine is scheduled to be produced somewhere end of february and delivery will be somewhere in March 2007.
