Pooper officially acquired. I went with the 24" wheel option to support my passion for 90's BTCC racing.

Has anyone done any testing to see if the bigger wheels weigh down the car or slow it vs. a smaller wheel? Obviously the weight on the specs doesn't change, but I didn't know if any handling characteristics may have. Just curious.

I hope to make a few races tomorrow night.

I have not seen any evidence of that.

I'm pretty sure you meant plus 2 inch wheels, but I went searching for Mini with donks and this is what I get.

sun is shining so I gotta go for a bike ride. Its a shame cuz Mini is one of the few FF cars I enjoy.
Also seen no evidence of help or hindrance from bigger wheels, with the exception of the initial fuckup that has been fixed

Dude - that is the best picture ever!! 

The big wheels didn't seem to hurt performance and looked a little BTCC-ish. Thanks for the racing last night guys, it was fun; and the car was great!

Cheers!
