Rotiforms

I spotted this on my way out from class today...

Rotiforms-img_3306.jpg

I've seen some posts about rotiforms on older Minis, but none on F56.
The problem is the fitment. The BLQ closest option is 8.5x18 5x112 et 45.
I know something closer to 7.5 would look better and all that, I'm just wondering has anyone actually tried that size wheel & how aggressive will it be?

I can't stand the stock wheels and Rotiform has that black friday sale so fitment opinions?

Wheel and tire will stick out over a 1/4 inch.

Those are actually "katana" wheels, they make a BLQ rep.
That car belongs to my buddy Drake from Temecula I sold him my air ride that came off my Vw CC. Cool guy!

Now onto wheel fitment,

Im running 17x8 +35 on 225/45/17 i rubbed a little bit in the rear but nothing an alignment couldnt fix.
Below i have attached some pictures.
i live in Murrieta, If you ever see me around say whats up!!!
