D@mn these are hot! Alex, Details please.
I just can't make out how they would look on my DS/B MCS. The image on Tirerack.com isn't too clear.

Damn that's real hot! I have those in silver now I want new rims!!!
That's not 17" with that thick lip. My guess is 18".
Here is the lip you get from 17"...not bad close to 1".

The wheel shown in the photo from the first post has 5 lug holes, and appears to be offset for a RWD application. I'd bet that the lip will be much less pronounced on one that fits the MINI.

Lip depth is related to offset, not diameter.
Or am I misunderstanding the question?

Go to edgeracing.com and click on the Flik Wasp (looks nearly identical) and I believe there is a DG/MCS that has posted pics w/ the wheels on.
Looks very nice.

I have these rims in silver also - they are very nice rims, I think the black would look amazing with any MINI with a black roof.

Just right click the picture, select properties, highlight the web address for the pic, right click again and copy the web address. Then using the reply/post form, click Insert Image (looks like a little mountain) and copy the address into the pop up field.
