I think you guys are right. Those wheels do look like the JCW 18" R105

Spotted: BRG R56S with license plate "R56GKRT" (or something like that, but instead of the '5' they had the hand symbol that's available if you get that special plate) heading east on Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach.

Got a lot of very enthusiastic waves from a middle aged gent in a nice PW/PW R53 passing me on the 10W at the 110 interchange. Waved back after I was behind him. Been a while since I've gotten a wave!

Blue R53 JCW spotted

I was leaving Aliso Viejo following a nice lowered blue JCW today. 133 hwy backed up when a Caltrans truck blocked the road and then we both took off...but I missed 2nd gear

It's nice to see a JCW on the road since I don't see many.

Saw a black R56 w/UC Irvine license plate frame in Newport Beach. I think it had gray sport stripes with red pinstriping along the edge of them, looked really nice.
