"S" Spoke should've looked like this !

Does anyone know who makes these wheels and where they can be found ?



Also, what simple NOT slash-cut replacement tips can be found in the UK for Cooper "S"

Bare in mind its 7 spoke, and the S spoke was based on the original MIHi wheels with 8 spokes.

Plus check out the offset of them, those are wider arch's.

Do look cool, wonder if they're any lighter
