On the other hand, if that's what floats the guy's boat, who's to say? Then again, everybody is somebody's weirdo.

It looks like a less busy knock off of the Duell unit.

They are BMW rims from a 540i painted white (as far as I know). I don't know if he did a custom style for 4 lug or if he converted to a 5 lug. http://static.cargurus.com/images/si...435067013.jpeg

Kind of looks like a version of the Zeemax .

Still my personal favorite is the Factory Aero kit.

They do look like the BMW rims, but they aren't... The Mini rims have a 4-lug pattern as well as a smaller solid middle section. Probably some cheap Pep Boys rims that were on sale at some point.

This seems to be the best pic of the rims. It's kinda fuzzy, but you may be able to make out the name on the center cap.

Looks like this kit here. I kinda feel bad making fun of it if the creator died. Click enter shop, you'll see what I mean. Kinda sad really

Aren't most of these mods done to attract attention and to please the owner? Looks like a success for both! I'm sure the owner cares not what I think.

Just an abservation: A bit lower and he could plow cigarette butts from the roadway.
