What kind of wheels are these?
Wondering if anybody can tell me what kind of wheels they are. I like them a lot and would like to find more info about them. Thanks...

I'll break the early tie. Similar look, but they look to me more like Rewinds. The Rewind spokes seem to be more rounded, while the Rota RBs seem to have spokes that "peak" somewhat facing outward.
You can tell due to the silver center caps and each spoke is not as tapered toward the center as the Rota RB (dark center cap).
Konig Rewind in Graphite finish silver machined lip
15x7 14.5 lbs offset 40mm or 20mm, about $115-132 each
16x7 16.2 lbs will not fit MINI due to bolt pattern of 4x114.3
Comes in Silver and Graphite finish
MINI uses 4x100 bolt pattern

Rota RB
15x7 offset 30/35mm, about $146 each, offset 25/35mm in gold
15x8 offset 35mm, about $150 each, Royal Gunmetallic/Red/Silver
Hub bore 67.1mm/57.1mm - will need centering ring to fit MINI 56.1mm hub bore
Comes in many finishes- Red, Royal gold, Royal Gunmettalic
Both wheels are gravity cast alloy
Another wheel with a similar "classic" mini look-

Minilite wheels (magnesium shown, 15x6" various offsets)

I did not find a 16x7 that had the 4x100 bolt pattern, you can search and see if any vendor carries it in that size.
Hey guys, that's my car and yes Konig Rewinds on stock suspension. Just the wheels/ tires alone made a huge difference in the overall handling of the car. I would also suggest the Rota RB 15x8s. They would look awesome.
