I was just referring to the design of the wheel not the price nor 360 forged. I know all about the issues on the other boards.

^^Not unless he got the Brembo 14" Grandturismo kit..lol...might work then. I had that issue with my Breyton GTS-R and had to get a 5mm spacer to make it work...with the caliper flexing under hard braking it was touching the spokes

That deep dish and wide lip stuff is a no-go for nearly any brake kit on any car.

Nice Shoes I'd like to have a set of those blinging on my Whip, no need for uprated brakes. It would be the most different and unique MINI at there. Nobody has that!!

No really they are aesthetically pleasing rims, especially on 135i or 335i, downside would be getting proper offset and brake fitment.
