Very interested in the answer of this as well.... Darmog - were you able to get a quote for the JCW BBK from your dealer? can I ask how much? thanks.
Anyone running these in 17" with some kinda BBK? Stock tires are gonna go in probably 2k more miles so these Feathers in black and 17" with Dunlop Star Spec are gonna be my replacements for stock 16" S-Winders. Also was planning on upgrading to the full JCW brake kit but have yet to see any pics on here with Feathers running those brakes. I really don't want to use spacers if at all possible which is what put me off the 17" OZ Ultraleggeras. Didn't want to go with 18" either since prices in tires at those sizes are insane. So, its 17" Konig Feathers but really just need to know if that +40 offset is enough to clear the JCW brake kit.

Well, order placed with Alta this morning for the 17 x7 silver feathers.... hoping to get it by the end of the week or early next week. Will just do a local shop for the tires and the TPMS modules to be swapped between my current set. took the car out Sat. morning for a canyon run and am convinced that a better set of wheels/tires will do wonders in the corners for this little rocket. Here's hoping I get them soon... Will post pics after the install

I'm hoping for a noticeable difference since we're hoping to drop around 8-9 lbs. per corner.... these runflats are boat anchors....
Dunno how much of a difference you'll notice. On my R53, I noticed a significant improvement in acceleration (had another friend drive the car to verify butt dyno calibration), braking, and generally a bit more precise feel to the car. Not to mention the great upgrade on looks. 
Also need to order me some Mini centre cap decals.
