I've got a set of mexico arches to fit, and was planning on buying  a set of 8" wide revo's for Christmas.

But now looking back on photos from this year, I'm becoming hesitant, and whether to keep my factory sports pack a a sports pack? And keep, abeit wider offset 7's?

It's not exactly the red coop it came out the factory like, just I can't decide! (not helping with Uni stress either aha)

 

What do you think?

Like it as it is.

Leave as it is, its like mine.

It's so easy with mini's to keep looking at different arches and different wheels and different this and different that because there is so much choice. I find myself doing it all the time and what I forget is what I've actually got. If you do make the changes, to your wheels and arches, it will look really good, but it looks really good as it is!

If the new arches won't cover any of the fixing holes left by the sportspack arches I'd leave well alone.  The sportspack arches might also have left marks in the paint where they rub on the body. 

My very limited experience with Mini arches is that anything non factory doesn't fit very well but hopefully thats changed since I messed about with mine. 

Look good as it is I think.

Looks good as it is mate, I'd leave it.  Not a fan of the Mexico type arches personally.

I prefer sportspack arches to the mexico arches to be honest, the fit is much nicer

[Badboytunes]

Id leave it as it is. It looks good !

[Mini Manannán]

Yup, I've been there browsing for all sorts and had to rein myself in again.  The car looks real swell as it is!

Car looks great, maybe try and borrow some spacers to set the offset 'just so' before you buy the new alloys?

Does look good. I think the Mexico arches In Orange would look bloody awesome though!

Phew , a relief on my part . I still think it looks great as it is , in proportion and not O.T.T .
