Thank you very much, that's exactly what I wanted to see. I found some pics of the wheels with a high positive offset and it looked as if the centers were sticking out, but it looks like they are just about flush on your wheels which should have the same or close to the same offset as the 17's I plan on buying. Much appreciated!

Figures....I see these pics and decide it's time to order them. I saw them on my phone as I was having dinner and on the way home my service light comes on...time for new brakes in the front. Being who I am, I ordered cross drilled rotors and stoptech pads for all 4 corners....guess the wheel have to wait LOL. At least the brakes will look good behind them.

Alex, I currently use these wheels at the track with R-comps on my first generation MCS. I would like to use these wheels over the winter on my soon to be ordered Paceman, which has the same chassis as the Countryman. I believe the wheels will fit. Do you have snow tire recommendations for this application in the 17" ET 38 size? Thanks in advance.

Sorry if I'm asking a question that has been answered already... But, I just ordered a set of the 17x7 et45 PF01's and am noticing in the pictured that it looks like they're using different than stock wheel bolts. Is this because the wheels will not work with stock wheel bolts? If they're needing different wheel bolts what are the options?

Yes, but you need to be careful which tire to use if you are lowered. These wheels will stick out 10mm more than OEM wheels
Using stock suspension you can use-
205/45-17
215/45-17
If you have a lowered suspension you may need to run more negative camber to tuck the edge of the tire into the wheel arch area. You can trim the wheel arch plastic. 205/45-17 will give you better clearance unless you want to go smaller in tire diameter than stock such as 215/40-17 or 205/40-17 but tire selection is much less.

Professor, would you please quote your tire size in the pics and how much your car is lowered... love the pictures!
Thinking about moving to 15x8's (215 or 225 would be preferred) with stock sport suspension on a 2007 MCS -minihune or Alex, any thoughts on the best tire size for 15x8's or 15x7's with my suspension?
