do they still say 'workz' on them or have you changed it to 'jcw works' or 'mini'.

You can get new ones from your dealer

Mark: they'd look good on black too

I don't think they look all that great on DS.

Maybe better on a Black for sure

The silver going round the outside looks a bit thicker compared to the ones on the GP.

Think if the car was lower they would look good. Problem is they are trying to immitate the GP wheel which is just better quality, and over 2 kilo a corner lighter, but twice the price for a set!!! And hard to get for none GP owners

I like. I am torn to get these or go to reduced 17" Team Dynamics black Pro Race 1.2s .....I want to go low and I am not loving the 18s for ride on 35 profile tyres...sigh

Look soooo good though on DS though

Excellent choice if your not worried about the unsprung weight of the car

This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool!

the quality of the wheels are great no worse than the s spokes probably better as the silver part of the wheel looks really good.The matt black is what you get its matt black how it can look worse or better I don't know.
The weight problem is not an issue they are not heavy we tested that in the shop and you no what even if they are heavier I can't tell the diffrence,I'am no racing driver.
When you change to 18" and get a lower profile tyre I'am sure lowering it could help but its really not that bad looking and once your on the road you can't really notice
I also have now seen and sat in a Mini GP in the flesh last Saturday (amazing car and the sound puts the S to shame) the wheels were very hard to tell apart (apart from the crappy worx logo ).

The best thing is I like them.

the most important thing is you bought them because you like them, opinions are peoples personal views, and as long as you like them, then it doesnt matter! enjoy the wheels i think they really suit your car.
