840's look sick but I dont know if I could justify wheels that cost 1/4 the car...

I built my mini on mini.com it came in at $32K ... not exactly a "cheap" car ... I see HREs on mustangs, and CTS, and IS300, ect. Those all cost the same or less.

MINI fitments for HRE's aren't as expensive as some other applications. still not cheap, but it worked out to be about 15% of the car's cost (w/ brushed finish). i've spent stupid money on this car, but i don't regret a single dollar spent.

Most serious track cars have close to the amount invested in the modifications (parts + labor) as the value of the car, if not more. It all makes sense in the enthusiast mindset though!

To each his own. I'd rather put $3000 HRE's on a Mini than spend $8K on a "large carbon fiber interior trim" for a 997.

TO each his own. Some have more disposable income than others.

i love my MINI and i'm a wheel junkie. i like nice wheels. my HRE's are for street use. for the track i have a set of SSR type C-RS for rains/intermediatees. i have two sets of custom Kodiak Racing wheels for my slicks. i have about $14k invested in wheels/tires for this car. i have also done serious mods to the rest of the car. New cobra seats w/ custom ostrich inserts, roll/harness bar, 6-pt harnesses are my latest endeavor. i could drive an M3 or 996 if i wanted. i like my MINI and want it to be unique and as nice as i can make it. i also pass cars on the track that cost more than 3X my car. meet me on the track and see my car before declaring that HRE's have no place on a MINI.
Car looks very sick

I like HREs on anything. I saw a Honda minivan the other day with HREs, and it looked pretty cool!
