Meg- in terms of the wheels, i think they are a japanese company. Bond MINI. They seem to be the only people who carry them.

16 x 6.5 - I'm curious about what you mean by 'shaped differently'. Is there a difference between SSR Comp and SSR Comp R's?

The guy I bought these from used them for AutoX ing - And Alex mentioned they were the first production run produced in conjunction with TireRack that was hubcentric to the Mini.

The C2's go for about $1500 for the set with some soso good 18" tires.
not bad for dressup, imho.

but while I think about this, i should just wrap some a/s's on my
R90's and run 5mm spacers instead. i mean, i don't think i would be
doing any performance driving anyway with these heavy mesh wheels.

i'd need to get RG-R's if i want mesh + performance driving.

actually the one you show below is the C4.

C2's are RHEvo's or something, it's their Taiwan or something
produced lower-end line. C4's are pretty expensive...
