anyone know what wheels these are?

Saw these from a recent story/gallery on motoringfile.com. Anyone know who makes these? look pretty awesome, probably one of the best 18" wheels I've seen on a MINI..

I've been looking for these too

I still haven't found out either

The picture you posted was takes on the trackday that is featured on this site as well:

But it isn't Hubert's MINI, so he might not know what wheels these were

Nice rim. Do you guys know if both cars have been lowered or it is natural after you find a 18"? (Those rim looks 18" to me)

Thanks!
Harold

IN my unprofessional opinion I would say that they have been lowered....definately the one in the first post. I mean he wouldnt go for all those mods (wheels, brakes, front spoiler plus it looks a high spec MCS) and not have it lowered!!

the wheels on the red car look HUGE!!!

i reckon they could be 19's or maybe it's just cos the spokes go all the way to the rims that they look bigger!!

they completly dwarf the s spokes on the ds mcs next to it in the pic.

Yeah, although I think they are 18", but actually they may be 19", don't know. Do you all think those rims will look nice on 17" too? (if the car is lowered, just a thought)

They look a lot like...

...18" Technomagnesio Detroit F1s (but I don't think they are) . They look just as sharp when they're moving. Here are some pictures:

It seems those rims look better on the car than just standing by themselves.
