I see a Xmas gift in my future. Those wheels combined with Bridgstone RE0-1 tires. As long as they fit a 2006 JCW brakes.

I trust that this question was stated before in this thread, however I will ask again – what is the offset?

I am due to have part #'s in September - when I can confirm offset, width, and pricing.

I expect to see the 17's in the beginning of December, 18's likley around the 1st of the year.

I'd expect agressive - for instance 17x7 et37 like Ultraleggera. I will post specifics when I get them in the beginning of September.

I expect no issues for JCW brakes, like Ultraleggera

It's like the Ultaleggera. You can get 8 in. from OZ USA but The Rack doesn't sell them. I know a lot of people who want 7.5 or 8's but for some reason The Rack won't get them.

Any updates? I'm interested in the cost of white wheels.

(Tirerack only shows the anthracite version at $299... and no weight.)

Alex, do we have an official offset spec on these? Also, is it really the case that you will not have any in stock until December?

Can you give a sense of how well the "Titanium" finish matches Mini Dark Silver?

Thanks.
