Wow, they even have the ///M sticker, which I've never seen on replicas before. Except BMW never sold this model in 17" AFAIK. They were E46 M3 OE wheels in 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. There was also a lightweight forged version option in 19".

Well ,she only has a 1995 318is with 160,000 miles the stock 15" I thought were fine

Well, she only has a 1995 318is with 160,000 miles and the stock 15" I thought were fine . I and she does not need steam rollers with just 140hp and to ruin the ride . However what do you think of this seller's aftermarket/OEM/factory deal?

They are replicas, in which the quality fit and finish is never as good as an OE wheel. Now you stated the car a few years old in which I think these wheels would work fine.

The offset for the E46 M3 wheels will not work on a Mini. Heck, the offset doesn't even work on the previous gen M3 (E36). Not to mention trying to stuff 9" wide wheels on the rear of a Cooper S!
