Got them and they look AWESOME! Really loving them. I've got some super vibration though on the drive home - gonna have to call them and get them looked at probably. Hoping to show them off Sunday night. :)

MINIs are really sensitive to improper wheel/tire balancing.. have them re-ballance and tell them to please be very accurate.

They may have forgotten the hub centric center rings for your wheels, they should be included.

They said one wheel was slightly off balanced, so they rebalanced it. What a difference a "slightly" off balanced wheel makes - OMG!
