Show me your WHEELS!

I can't say if their redrilling job is not the best or done "properly", I haven't heard any bad reviews about them (yet) but what I can say, considering the RS are no longer available, this is the only way you can have the RS fit a MINI without a long wait. Now if you are lucky and patient, RBMotoring will get 4x100 18" RS from time to time.
My statement about the redrilling was based on pictures of their redrilling jobs as I was planning to use them to redrill my second set of BBS's as well. Unfortunately, they don't use any kind of insert for the new holes before drilling, and they often weld off the backs to fill them in which is apparently not a safe option now that I've talked to a few wheel guys.

cross coilovers. I have 225/45/16 A048's on 7.5ET43 and 225/35/18 F1 Asymmetric on 7.5ET42. Clearances are tight....stock struts should offer more inboard room.

4x100 18" RS? No.....they never made them. They never made 4x100's in 17" either so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting. The only RS's ever made in 4x100 were all 15" except for the ever elusive RS003 which is 4x100 16x7 et25 and incredibly rare. There is a set for sale right now....but since they're so rare, they go for a lot of money in bad condition. And with that funky offset, you'd need to buy all new barrels and lips to make it a better fit for our cars.

Good to know about their redrilling process as well. I did not do further research with their work because I decided not to go with RS face.

I would definitely go with something else. Although the lines do not clash with those of the car, like 90% of the wheels posted here, they have a busy, blinged-out SUV sort of vibe.

Cheap wheels for a cheap car
Interesting that these cheap wheels at least complement the car. Too bad they probably weigh way too much. I have some sub-$200 rims that, although a whopping 17 lbs are great to have in an area with ice and granite curbs.

I'd disagree....I think they completely compliment that car and it looks better for having them on.
