Will Kazera KZ-D's fit on a Factory JCW?

Will the Kazera KZ-D in 17 x 7.5 +40mm fit over the Brembo 4-pot brakes on a 2009 Factory JCW?

Looking for a winter wheel......

I'm also contemplating the OEM R114 - but I'm kind of bummed that they only come in the regular silver unlike the two-tone R113 wheel.... and also the fact that they are 17 x 5.5......... and finding narrow tires in 17" seems kind of hard...

Lastly don't know if I should drop ~$250 per wheel for the OEM + the cost of the sensors..... For the same price of the rims I can get these Kazeras and winter tires mounted.....

I sent Alex an email already.....Hopefully will hear back from him soon as the cold weather will be coming soon here in NY......

I received them yesterday and.....they fit with no problem whatsoever!

The color, however, is much lighter than the picture above.

I will take some pics this weekend in daylight. Perhaps my perception is skewed since I only saw them at night....

Car feels more planted with the wider offset and the tires definitely more comfy than the stock Continental summers.....

Woo hoo!

Thanx much. Those rims make your MINI look really looong.
