(considering the OZ Adrenalina as an alternative to the R111)

Hey tghtaclegend, I actually have these on my cooper but I painted the spokes to match my mellow yellow. Just so you can get an idea

Hope this helps!

Them yellow things, is that plastic? Yes they are, probably to keep weight down. I bought the chrome version, chemically stripped the chrome off(didn't harm the plastic at all) and them primed, painted, clearcoated them. Not sure if the red version are painted or not.
removable? yes, they send a hex key with them
how do you like your 18's? Love the 18's, but that's my taste, they fill the wheel well better IMO
would u prefer 17's instead? It's all a matter of your preference.
also, where did you purchase them? Got them online from Next Level Motoring, had them in 4 days.
Side note, love, love, love the way they set my mini apart from all the rest, don't really have to worry about my mini looking identical to another MY with OZ, BBS, etc., etc. I get compliments on them all the time. Also, when you take the "v's" off, it looks just as awesome as well, gives them a whole new look. I just put the bolts back in the holes for a finished look.
The bad part, what a pain in the a$$ to clean. But for the money, I am completely satisfied with them.

Let me know if you have any other questions bud!

Saturn, you think you can get pictures with them off? and just the bolts on? I'm now really considering buying them also. I want the black with chrome lip and then I'll paint the "V's" red. Perhaps, maybe leave them the way they come, we'll see.

Thanks again

I have to admit, I'm not always a fan of wheels painted body colour........but man that looks good.

Looks nice maybe you can sell the stock wheels, hint, hint.
Btw red painted (color coded) wheel arches would look sweet too.
