Price for 16" R90 Wheels for new MINI

I am looking to replace my S-Winders with the R90 wheels (16" size)
Is this a good deal from this MINI dealer ?? (shipping would be $40.00)

Excellent, thanks alot.
Now if I only thought to order the car with the R90's instaed of trying to get them now and doing the swapping wheel/tire thing. Looks like if I did it that way (according to the MINI configurator anyway...) they would have been an $850.00 extra option at that time. Hmmmmmm.....interesting

$40 shipping seems like an even better deal than the wheels.

You would have had to order them as an accessory anyway. You can't get them delivered on the car. You end up with two sets of wheels and one set of tires.

Oh. Ok. I would love the chance to get a tire set of my choosing onto the new wheels. And, a non run-flat tire choice is looking tempting right now. Especially putting on a set of the next wider size than stock (205 instead of 195 width) route like many MINI owners have done.
However I am still leary about having to carry this as my defencse of a flat tire:
