Wheels

Read about these wheels on some site that I can't seem to find my way back to. Were supposedly optional equipment on an '05 MC. Can anyone verify? Just ordered MC today and the MA was not familiar with them.

I believe those wheels are only offered as an option on convertibles, but obviously if they make them, you can buy them and put them on any mini. I've seen them in white and they are particularly attractive that way.

Thanks

Thanks for the replys. Really like this design compared to the R83's(?) But dangnabbit the 5 star rocket design is on 15" wheels only. Just ordered a MC with Sport package which comes with 16" wheels of course.
