I've been checking these rims out, and I love them, I did some searching on the net and found that they are available in many sizes, I found that they do a 18x7.5 ET 43 rim in 4 hole arrangement, perfect! 2 of the pics are from a fellow member Dogger-X.
He kindly told me that you can get the rims on their own for around $800ish and anything upto $1600 with tyres, but if you look around enough you can get set with Yokohama tyres for around $1200.

For further specs on this wheel have a look HERE

I'm seriously thinking about getting these wheels, I have yet to have found any prices for the UK, (I've only just come across these wheels 30mins ago).

I belive these are the Hyper Black versions

I think these are either the Hyper Silver finish or HMC finish



Then again I have the nauseating effect of CHOOSING! Below you will find some more pics, what I would like you guys to do for me is to, help me choose by voicing your opinions. My MCS on order is all black with darkened glass, hopefully givingyou a better idea of the final look.

VOLK LE37 gunmetal on Mini-Madness.com Show car

Breytons

Limited Edition VOLK TE 37s

Arospeed RSGTs

And Finally the Hamann HM7s (I think)

[ScottyB]

M-sports are good I say

Silver or gunmetal/black finish. Silver if you want that contrast, but so black if youre going for the 'evil MINI' look

[ZAMIRZ]

Get the Volks, they're probably the most expensive, but also the highest quality and lightest wheel out of your choices.

[obehave]

Like ZAMIRZ said if you want performance get the Volks but I like the look of the Aerospeeds better.
My 2¢ though is 18" rims look goofy.

[wibbly]

Just to throw a spanner in the works here - you have a pic in your personal gallery of some Oz Superleggeras's I think on a Sparco MCS. I personally think they look pretty awesome

Failing that I'd go for something like the Breytons I've just had a black JCW S and am looking around for some wheels to swap to when I've shredded the tyres on mine.

Good Luck

I only agree if the car isn't lowered, with 18's you gotta have it lowered or as you say it looks goofy.

Personally I feel that 17s or 18s compliment the Mini style wise, but if performance is high on the agenda then 16s are the way to go.

I like performance, but here in the UK I won't be fully able to use it
so at the same time I'd like my MCS to look good, I am looking to get relatively light wheels though. Thats why I've got the VOLKs and Arospeeds in there, then again the OZ SuperLs well they're really light and I kinda like the look of them, they do a polished and modular version of them too which at the moment I am usnsure of the setup ie if they have a 4 hole config.

18" super L's luk awsum!! u can only get em in 8x18 or bigger for the mini i think, thery dont have a 17" fitment, so i've read.

wot colour is ur car man?

[Smoked]

BTW mine shud luk summet in the region of these wen i get round to fitten em:

[Ibb]

Yeah looks good, I'm gonna be getting a fully black MCS with Darkened glass.
I'm probably gonna go for polished wheels. Get a contrasting(Bling Bling) look (fingers crossed)

[Ibb]

Ok found a pic of those lavish Modular Polished OZ SuperL's, but they are not on a MINI, so beg my pardon, but will give you guys an idea of what they lok like, personally I love them, its now a battle of the ADR wheels (which are proving to be a punk to get a hold of) or teh OZ Modular SuperL's (which can be attained with no too much trouble).

Sorry the pic doesn't show the wheels in all their glory but its only pic of an 18x8 version of them on a nice car (which happens to be black too). Tell me what you think guys.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed soo far

Yea, you do have a point.
Probably a knee jerk "I'm really sick of Ricers" reaction on my part.

Lol my car is gonna arrive in Sept, soooo have to wait until then to get the wheels

But I'm gonna get the springs now.

I like the Volks and the Brytons (for the lip).

When I get my MINI I want a lip (noting too big) so I keep looking and looking and looking.
Good luck on your decision.

Can someone guide me to 18" with a nice lip (want polished lip on Gunmetal or black wheel)

[ninethreeeleven]

one other thing, what body kit is that on the Sparco? Probably the BMW but I've never seen it look so pretty.

Yeah its the BMW Aero Kit, it looks more "pretty" mainly because the car has been lowered and the arches have been painted to match the body colour.

Ok I've just found a UK distributor of ADR wheels, they're based in Scotland.
www.modifiedcarparts.com ADR make plenty of wheels in 4 bolt configuration.

I've sent an email to find out prices.

[Ibb]

I think I'm gonna get these wheels if I can (fingers crossed)

These are teh Oz Superleggera IIIs
