Superleggera's: Did they make 18"?

I was just wondering if they ever made 18" Superleggeras in Silver....so I can lament the fact that I can't ever have a set LOL.

Well there's your answer lol, sorry I didn't say yes in my previous post. The ones minihune posted are Superlegerra III, 3-pc wheels...

Superleggera's are sick for sure in 18s on the MINI but at one point everyone had them, although mainly in 17s. They seem to not be as popular any more, kinda makes me want them...

EDIT: Are they 18x7 or 18x7.5 ? I'm looking for a set now lol

I was referring to Superleggera's in general. There was a point that it seemed everyone had them, that's not the case any more. At least it doesn't seem that way..

Ah ok....I had never seen the Superlegerra III's before. NIce wheel, but I tend to like the simpler look without all the screws.

I'd also be curious to know if they are 18x7 or 7.5

How wide are they? And are you thinking about selling them any time soon? I think I'd be interested if I could get rid of my damned 18x7.5 SSR Comps

Didn't you just have your SSR's all nicely powder coated? Or was that someone else? (Too lazy to click to find thread)

Yep that's me. They are color-matched DS but not powdercoated. One wheel is bent and I'm bored of them already so they're up for sale. Only had them on the car for like 2 months

EDIT: Hah I saw a set of OZ Superleggera III on a Benz C-Class today, Ballin'
