I would get a 17" version of the HRE wheels. That would be perfect.

If you're gonna spend money, go "unique." The black wheel is just too over done anymore and "tree-fingers" or "you-vees" (as the GF calls them) are too common IMO as well. Yeah, they're HREs but they only stand out to those who know. In black, they stand out less even if an inch bigger.
I like the Hammans. You don't see many dished wheels on the road. At the shows, but not on the road - and you've probably figured out why.

thanks everyone i really appreciate everyones comments.
the hamann wheels are great wheels specially the 18s. real split piece but i have decided to change to stoptech or brembo brakes and they wont clear. the jcw brakes was actually a waste of money(sorry thats my personal opinion). I decided to order custom wheels and decided to try to make it different since i had to wait 4 weeks for it. for me as long as it makes you feel good its worth it as what everyone says "you wont know till you try it
" out of all my cars i enjoy my mini the best.
Im a proud mini owner:smile:

Glad you mentioned the brakes as they look so tiny inside those 19" wheels!
I really like the look of the black/polished lip on the HRE's. That actually is what I am considering on my yet to be delivered Red/White MCS, so I'm glad to see those pics. Like a dingbat, I didn't order any upgraded wheel with the sport pack and now they say I can't make the change. My budget dictates ASA wheels same black with polished lip. I have them on my black 528iT so it'd be fun to match.
My 2cents... smaller size or bigger brakes. Either one is a great look though.

what did u not like about the 'Works' brakes?
im currently lookin' into the 'BREMBO' set but feel it might b overkill.....which system are u lookin' at?
whats offset on HRE's?
how heavy r the HRE's compared to the HAMANN's
