Has anyone tried 19" Breyton GTS-R on the CM yet?

Ive had my new CM for 2 weeks now and its my most favorite car I've ever owned! The one thing that irks me is that the stock wheels are just too small/bland, so I was thinking of buying the Breyton GTS-R wheels.

Ive seen them on Mini coopers and they look great! Has anyone on the board here tried the 19" version on the coutnryman, if so any pictures to share please? Trying to get an idea of how they look before making the investment

Thanks

I like them, but I'd prefer an offset that keeps them inside the wheelwells

I just emailed tire rack about these, and got this reply:

Thanks for your inquiry. I checked with my hardware support team and they told me that it's because of the shape of the spokes. They curve in too much at the center of the wheel and hit the bottom corner of the calipers. That's why we don't list them for that vehicle. I'm sorry.
Wondering if there's some kind of offset required?

Yep, they are a bit pricey compared to some middle of the road wheels!
