Local dealership upgraded a CM with these - nice, but $4,000!?!?!?!?!

 

Yowza! It seems so much more cost efficient to get the most expensive wheels from the factory...and then if you are looking for a second set of wheels it will be easy to find of 17's somebody else took off that aren't worth much to them.

Thanks for sharing. I'm liking the light coffee with black accents!

I work for a mini dealership and we will have a countryman all4 with jcw aero kit black with red stripes and 19 inch wheels ill post pics

 

Yeah our dealership added it to their showroom "parts car". They usually have 1 or 2 to show lots of additional options you can get even at the dealer and after the port has had it. Stripes, bike racks, carbon fiber, etc etc.

 

Those look nice, but for $4k WOW! They are crazy! I can definitely purchase nicer rims & tires and plenty of money left over for a nice road trip.

 

Design isn't for me either, though I like some manufacturer two tone approaches. That's personal taste though.

The prices though seem way out of hand--those are like expensive wheel prices for high end BMW's or Audis, and with yet more substantial wheels. With these they are also crossing over to the big bucks, high end wheels like the forged BBS's--not the oft cheaply made look-a-likes, but the real McCoy. To me that's a good metric for when they have just gone too far, and I can guess/wonder if these are either forged or even remotely near the same weight either.

 

Would love to see these pics, Chrissamyn! Thanks in advance...
