I saw this ONE in a dealers here in Denmark. The combination of the wheels and the RED just blew me away. Alas, the photo doesn't do it justice as I couldn't work out how to make the digital camera focus through the glass! Hopefully you'll see what I mean though!

Super looking wheels......are they the approximately £2k MINI 18" wheels mentioned elsewhere in the forum ??

I don't know, but they looked pretty big to me.

Oh, and the basic prices in Danish Kroner are

One 236,000
Cooper 276,000
S 345,000

(there's approx 11kr to the £, so I guess that explains why you don't see many of them on the roads over here!!)

They do look nice, I whole-heartily agree!

However, with pleasure comes pain!

Be warned, my dad had the exact same wheels (the BMW ones not the MINI ones) on his 8-series and they looked nice but after a few months the studded holes around the rim, began to rust and didn't look nice at all. But, this was a while ago so perhaps BMW have made them more rust-resitant or out of a different metal alloy!

Heres hoping!!!

They are roughly £2,000 but they are 17" not 18". Mini don't really suggest 18"s as it's a tight enough squeeze getting the 17"s in.

But Ive seen a MINI with 19's

I agree that Mini looks very nice.I only have one problem with those wheels, How on earth would you keep them clean??

They might look nice there,but how would they look after 500 miles!

As far as those 19"s go Mr. Smiffy.......how thick were those elastic bands they had stretched round them again?
