I rather try to get Hamann or AC Schintzer for that kind of money. Don't forget you couls probably offload the standard 16's for a few hundred bucks to a Cooper owner too.

That's true, but I've gone for the 17" S-spokes. At $1100AU for those rims AND the tyres, it's the only real bargain out of the whole deal......

I believe it's a 3 piece BBS rim made especially for BMW. Why it's not marketed as a factory option is beyond me, as they look superb. ***** to clean though.

Cheers

Anyway, I know Rosie was talking about going the Works' Kit route. I wonder If she's around for comment ?
