Thoughts on possible 17" Enkei RS6 Purchase

I currently have 17" Alessio Polar wheels on and just found out that one of them is bent. Unfortunately, nobody carries these anymore...or any other wheels from Alessio. On top of that, the local Discount Tire thrashed my finish on my current wheels when I had new 17" tires put on yesterday. So now I'm thinking of just getting a complete new set of wheels...how's that for rationalizing! Has anybody bought these for their Mini or have any pics? I'm thinking of 17" Endei RS6.



My current wheels below.

I have the PK6's on my MC. I love them and added the MINI decals on centercaps, everyone asks about my wheels and why they weren't available during their purchase - of course I have to confess to them that the centercap decals are also aftermarket. I like the quality of the finish of these wheels, I do wax them and the gray metallic paint finish is holding up great. The wheels from Enkei you want are cool looking but I really like the current ones as well - you should sell those on Ebay - maybe someone could fix them - just a thought.

Thanks for the info. Those wheels do look great. I just finished cleaning the Alessios and it does look like the finish does come off rather easy . I'm going to take them back to Discount Tire and the manager is going to take a look at scratches and dings and hopefully they'll be able to get the wheels I want AND give me damn good price.
