I would avoid at all costs anything resold on Fleabay as a knockoff. You don't know what amount of testing went into the development of that wheel versus a name brand.
I passed on the sport package (don't like the wheel choices and don't want stripes), but ordered the sports suspension a la carte.
I opted for the 16" bridge spoke wheels with the runflat all season tires, and will use those as my winter wheels.
That's exactly what I did, and the couple mountain/snowy roads I've hit, the Continental's have stuck like glue. If I can ever get a real confirmation back about the 16" Rota RB's being compatible with the Mini's TPMS sensors, I'll be ordering a set & some 205/50/r16 BFG Gforce Sports or Avon Tech 500's...
The oem wheels are decent, but I'd never pay the big money for them.
