But that quote was for the Absolute. I checked the prices online and they are even cheaper there so once you get back to me I will stop by there again and talk to my old boss.

Sorry Ken I read your post and you wanted the Konig Tantrum 2, and they are a 3-piece rims so tomorrow I will stop by and get a new quote for you. And which tires do you want Nitto's or Yoko's. Those are the only two tires in 215/35-18 that will fit the Cooper, and I think you might have to roll the fender a little bit.

Yes that is the Yokohama's I was referring too. I have a baseball game in a hour so after that I will stop by the tire shop. I should post the price around 5:00 pacific time.

KPV,
I have Parada Spec-2 on my mini now and i don't like them very much. i'm ready to get another set of tires after 8000 miles. they are pretty noise and harsh. (yea i know i'm talking about 18" on that car)
i got Parada because they look cool. now i think they look too ricey...
not sure what i'm gonna get though...

Dave,
When do I get to see pics of yours?
I am guessing that by the end of this week, I will have taken possession. The wheels come tomorrow via UPS, three piece 18's like on the red car in the initial post.

I know Ken I have been really lazy. You know baseball, school, and stuff but I just got my white rims and I am going to have them put them on tomorrow and take some more pictures and develop them on Tuesday.
