Quality wise, how does the machined part look/feel? Do you think it'll be affected by corrosion any? Wonder how a clear coat would adhere to it.

wow. all I can say is wow. Ok I am saving up my money now. I cant afford tires until next year, I too was saving for the JCW wing. But the thing is can I still find a JCW wing next year, or will these rims still be around next year. Oh man oh man. I have been running stock web spokes for 130K miles as there were no rims that spoke to me. these are speaking to me.

Looks awesome to me!
The wheels look great, and the painted calipers really finish it off.

so, how did you get the 'COOPER' lettering on the caliper? That looks perfect.

they have these rims listin now in 18" too. Im not sure but isn't 18" a bit big? I think the 17 seems more practical to me.

For the "look", its up to you. For the feel and performance, smaller the better.
