A shot of my new 2008 R9 Cross Spokes, BLACK w/Polished Lip on my dirty 2004 CR/B MCS. A couple of more quick shots are in my gallery. Hopefully when the weather starts to cooperate, I can get my MINI cleanup up and take it out for a better photo shoot.

These will be going on my car once the weather warms up a bit:

1- They come in 17 x 7, I'm looking for the 17 x 7.5
2- They are cast made wheels and break easily. I know of 2 people that had cast made wheels on their cars and both of them broke in several places in the spokes.

no. I said you get what you pay for...inexpensive wheels = inexpensive finish. Any of the nicer Enkei's are made well, but cut costs on the finish vs. something like BBS.

Ok I mounted all 4 wheels with the tuner lugs and took some pictures. I drove about 35 miles and they ride perfect, no rubbing and look awesome.
Now lets hope that the snow is minimal for the rest of the winter.

jeffc, I still can't get over how perfect those wheels look against silver. You also picked the perfect tire sidewalls to bring home the look......Yoks' Paradas? ![Thumbs Up](https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb-up.gif)
It's definitely a top 5 on my list of MINI wheels.

Thanks and yeah your sooo lucky you dont have to deal with the winter thing.
Yes they are Yokohamas. I drove 100 miles today and the Wheels and Tires are definitely very cool and make a noticeable difference from my last set of S-Lites and cheap tires.

Well, I got the BBS LMs from Gnatster and finally got a decent photo of them on my car. Now I really need to get a set of coilovers to get rid of some of that wheel gap and hopefully maximize the added grip the Pirelli's offer.
