I thought your wheel was 18x8. 215/40 is perfect for 7.5 width. Post pics at different angles once they're on your JCW. I would like to see how aggressive they are (ET40).
Just another wheel that fits. Info for everyone else. I decided to go with the Enkei TS9
Except for the finish, I like the Interlagos over the TS9 but both work! Good find Ryan. btw, what size tires do you plan using? I wonder if 225/45 would fit in that configuration.

I'd like to compare the weights of wheels.....TSW's used to be "really" heavy, but admittedly that was probably 10 years ago...my son had TSW's on his VW....really heavy! Liked the look though

I'll be using the factory run craps 205/45 until probably next year. i know 215/45 fits. not so sure on the 225. i'll let somebody else be the donor car on that.

No. I can deal with the TPMS warning. It's just another button press on the startup procedure on the Mini.
1. Start engine
2. turn on sport mode
3. Turn off DSC
4. Acknowledge TPMS error. oh well.
My stock wheels are a dedicated snow tire set. So I left the TPMS on them.

You will love them. I just did these. They look great and fit is perfect.
Hi just wanted to say I received my RSe12's (18") yesterday from NM. I pulled 1 out to look at it, and they are freaking gorgeous. One thing that is a bit strange my box says "satin black", not "matte black". They match the pics perfectly. I wonder why the difference? Not a big deal at all really.
I can't get them mounted until I finish applying my wheel sealant. Obviously it is much easier to do pre-mounting. I actually apply 3 coats on each wheel. It is a bit time consuming, but it is worth the effort. If I can get them finished up today, my local Schwab dealer quoted me $260 for EVERYTHING. Hell the quote I got from mini, which was for swapping out the TPMS only was $360!! And like I said that was for TPMS only. God knows how much they would charge me for removal, mounting wheels to my non- RF Michelins, road force balancing, and mounting the new set up. I'm sure they would nail me for at least $500. IDK my service guy who is the only guy I deal with is on vaca and won't be back until Tuesday.
