I'm not sure about these wheels on my black CM!!! Any opinions?

Hey everyone! We just traded out '10 Clubman S in last night for the 2012 Countryman S in Black. But it came with these funky wheels. It was the only kind they had on all the CM's on the lot. My wife loves them, but I'm not so sure. Thinking about buying all black ones later and switching them out.

Does anyone like the look of these rims??? Basically, I guess I'm hoping someone likes them, it might make them grow on me a little bit!

Not a fan actually. They look too bulky to me and scream stock. Of course that's subjective but you wanted opinions so...

Personally I think these would look great on your R60:

I agree.. Not the biggest fan of those wheels.. I have 18" Turbo Fans on mine with tires that have about 500 miles on them! Ill sell them if the price is right! They are silver in color.

Sasha, our CM should hit the dealer in about 14 days from now. We ordered it with the Anthracite 17" wheels. I'm going to have aftermarket wheels/tires/TPS sensors here waiting for the car. When we get the car I'm going to drive it home (9 miles) and put the other wheels on.

So I'll have a set of OEM Anthracite wheels, with tires & TPS sensors (with only 9 miles on them) that I'll put up for sale. The only thing I might keep is the center caps, if they happen to fit my new wheels. I'm not sure what a fair price would be yet because other wheel/tire sets I've seen for sale don't include the TPS sensors, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

Here is a photo of someone on NAM's car that I found, just in case you aren't familiar with what those wheels look like...

Well at the end of day one with the countryman and the tunnel spoke wheels, we got complimented on the wheels by 4 different men!! One girlfriend of mine is not a fan either. But overall, I think they're growing on me. Those pics i posted were from the dealer. I need to take my own to give a better idea. So far, I'm starting to like them ..... I think! Lol.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
