I wanted to do that for the Mini, but then I remembered... I don't have new wheels money.

I like the wheels on your Mini

I won't be doing much else to the Fiat, the wheels had to go though, even Holly agreed.

I'd like some extra ones though - like the ones on your Fiat. No fancy brand everyone's heard of - just a lighter set as close to oem dimensions with some stupid expensive tires on them.

Check the Mini forums, there's bound to be stuff going for cheap. I know, no money, but that's what I'd do.

The ones I got for the Fiat are the OEM Abarth wheels, a guy was selling his set as he bought aftermarket ones. I won't complain, he sold them awful cheap IMO compared to what the dealer wants for them.

Beautiful wheels, Sam!

I got aftermarket wheels and tires for my mini that were a huge improvemen. I found them on the forum from some guy up on Wisconsin. I even stopped in and saw Charlie on the way home!
