The wheels are FLIK Wasp 18 x 7.5 in anthracite. I made the center caps with OEM MINI wheel decals. I'm running H-Sports springs, RDR control arms, and Yokohama Parada 215/35-18
I figured those were wasps :smile: (the MINI sticker threw me off) as I am looking at them in 17" for my CR/W MC.
Looking to put Toyo Proxes 4 on them ...

Nice wheels .. look really sharp on a black car

Hey, do those come with center caps? How much did you pay for the wheels?
Thanks.

Yep they come with centercaps. They didn't come with hubcentric rings though. Bought them for 179 from outmotoring.com

Personally, I don't care for the thin, spindly, chromie wheels. THESE are among the sharpest I've seen. Good job

SSR Comps 16x7.5 silver with GoodYear F1 GS-D3 205/50/16.

I don't use center caps. Painted hubs flat black with engine enamel
so no rust shows through the center hole. looks very sharp and sporty. :smile:

Just curious, but I've read posts about a guy putting the HRE 540R rims on his Cooper S. Are there any pictures? And I also saw a MCS with ACE Allure 4-lug rims for a sale on AutoTrader, but I can only come across 5-lug versions. And if I were to go with the H&R Springs, would 18" rims fit, or should I go with 17's? Thanks guys.

Great looking rims on all of your cars!!!

Looks Sweet

What's up with the Xs on the headlights?

Any rubbing issues with that tire/wheel/spring combo? If so what did you do to fix it?

Gotta love that religious icon on the dash....

In the 17x7 they came in at 17.1 lbs I think. Not the lightest by any stretch, but a very nice wheel, can't wait until I get them back on the car.

Long story but I went back to stock 16's. By the way as pictured I had 215/45/17 and loved the fit and fill of the tire opening.
