Thanks for the compliments......last car had gray centers but it did have gold bolts. I like the subtler brown rather than a bright gold. Just my personal style though.

I would, but my car arrived and it's 12.5% smaller than actual size. I was pretty bummed

a little bit OT (but not that much). How much torque do I use to install wheels on my 08 Clubman?

hmmm ... jbcola, you usually hit it right out of the ballpark, but this wheel looks too big in my opinion. really gives it that wagon wheel effect.

I like the color combo

I meant the visual difference of the wheel wells looking more full.

Nah, that car was just a prop for MTTS.official idea, but I believe that both S-Lites and Crown Spokes were options for the '08 Clubman.

The Crown Spokes are a factory optional wheel on a Clubman S. The chrome S-Lites are an available accessory wheel for any MINI that they will fit on.
