The one on the left is the transmogrifier module for the cloaking device, and
the one on the right isn't a MINI part at all, it's Penn & Teller's Invisible Thread.

Those look like hub centric centering rings for the wheels and their retaining clips.
In fact, BBS hub centering rings:
PFS Ring 70 mm OD 56 mm ID

about 3/4 the way down this page:

Only some after the fact cheating.
They looked just like the brass rings and clips for my SSR wheels except for the color.
I did google the part number after originally posting and found the link, and then edited that into my post.
