BTW, a little more info from Forgelines Site on the wheels themselves... they are the SO3 model from their "performance series" of wheels...
The Forgeline SO3 is a classic Performance-Series version of our popular SO3P 5-spoke Premier-Series wheel. The stepped-lip and raised spokes give this wheel a very aggressive look. Every SO3 wheel is built with true forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, heat-treated aluminum rim shells, and aircraft-quality stainless steel ARP fasteners. They feature a standard powder coated center finish and polished outer lip.The SO3 is available in sizes ranging from 17x7 to 18x15. And since each wheel is built to order, Forgeline can offer special features like custom offsets, center locking hubs, and a choice of finish combinations.
in 17x8.5 spec like they are, they start at just a hair over $1200 per-wheel
Great condition, recently re-finished, no chips, scratches, small amount of very fixable rash on one lip...
They are Graphite centers, polished Heat-treated stepped lips, and stainless ARP hardware (hidden hardware with face-mount build.) Barrels are black.
These were custom made for my buddies R55, when he blew the motor in that i got them from him as he got rid of the car.
Tires will not be included as they really arent worth the trouble to ship with them on the wheels. Price does not include paypal-fees or shipping costs.
Will get more detailed pics to post. Heres how they look on my r56 JCW, so they will clear JCW Big Brakes no problem, no spacers needed. (i put a 5mm spacer on the fronts just for looks)
More pics of each individual wheel can be seen here:

Offhand i dont have a figure on just the weight of the wheel... I can try and get and estimate by pulling one off, then roughly subtracting the estimated weight of the tire...which may give you an idea...

I have a 2010 JCW Clubman. What size tire do you have on the rims? Was there any problems with rubbing?
I have been looking for wider rims than stock to help with traction on my stage 2 car.

I have been drooling over these wheels since you posted them.
You mentioned using a spacer. If a spacer is not used do the rims protrude past the fender?

as they were built specifically for a R55/56 platform. The rears are as pictured without spacer.
