What are these?

Hey I know it is a noob question but it is my first posts so give me a chance

I'm picking up my MCS this week and I'm interested in those wheels.. but I can't find what they are exactly.

Are they 17x7 BBS RGR ?

I guess the bolt patern for MCS is 4x100 right?

Does anybody knows the weight of these?

I guess they are pretty expensive so is there any nice replicas company around? I found some myself but it's all in 5x100..

thx for your help!

Are you sure?

I don't think they are... I found these pics of R112






If we look at both wheels side to side, the center seems to be quite different:

The picture you posted in your original post is an official BMW press release photo

These wheels have a different number of spokes ... 8 versus 7 double-spoke.

I found the following picture on an Edmund's Review of the John Cooper Works Challenge car:

I'd say the one you posted with the 7 double-spoke wheels is a photoshop

Thank a lot, I must be really tired, I didn't notice the number of spokes!

Do you know how much they are? Any nice replica?
