The 18" Works alloys are a bit overpriced, there's plenty of aftermarket alloys oout there which will look more original and save you some beer tokens 2!

if you want to stick with MINI wheels and your choosing between JCW Wheels or the Bullet Alloys, I would go for the JCW Wheels, as someone else has said they are a bit overpriced but looks fantastic

was just looking at the next-gen MINI article on motoringfile.com- the design sketch shows bullets which look so good it made me take another look at these wheels. I think I really like them!!, --even better than the spider-spokes (JCW 18s).

The bullets probably will be hard to come by in the US, if they are convertible-only and not available a la cart... time to call my MA

The bullets at 18'' - now that would be nice Think the JCW 18s look crap unless you've got the big brake conversion and lowered the car by 30mm. Just looks a little light on it's feet otherwise. Just my opinion....
