I'm pretty sure you can get Keskins through www.raderwerks.com. I can't find the link to the site atm. Google it. There is an importer somewhere.
Also, www.tmtuning.com has pretty good prices and will ship to NA.

After reading through this thread many times, trying to get ideas, I finally went ahead and got the wheels installed. The are Exel Pak 5 in white. I couldn't decide whether to get chrome, silver or white, so I got the combination white/polished silver. I got them from wheelmax.com. They are 17x7 with a 42 offset. I also got Yokohama ES100 in 215/45 17. Not the lightest combo, in fact they weigh more than the stock bridge spokes/run flats (47 lbs vs 41.5 lbs each) but I like the look.

Besides the Cross Coilovers (dropped about 1/2" front and back, coilovers sit a little lower than stock, so in all the car is dropped about 3/4") I used 5mm H&R spacers and removed the front dust shields (saved some weight) 
There are going to be some cutting to be done soon from the top interior lips in the back so the tires don't rub off.

Looks great! Ultralegs?
I just put driving lights on my car as well. Expensive, but worth it. Too bad they gave me the white plastic covers. Your black ones look much better.
Nice MINI.
Edit: Whoops. Should have checked your gallery. What model/color/size Enkei? How much do they weigh? Been eyeing the Enkeis. They look good with DS.

Thanks! I got white DL caps as well but I corrected that with some black Krylon plastic paint. The downside is that I need to repaint them every so often due to chipping from rocks and such. The wheels are the 17" Enkei GTC01 which I believe are around 17 1/2 lbs.

Those look great on DS What tires are you running? Also noticed the pics in your gallery of some damage to the rims, did this happen when you got the tires installed?

These wheels are the hottness. Definitely aftermarket. The center cap could be easily swapped or a sticker applied
