Honestly...I have no idea, I purchased the MINI used and it had the tints already on.

wow.....copy of a Prodrive wheel with Volk Time Attack paint job. I have to say....I love it and if these were out when I bought wheels, I would have bought them.

real deal Volks on my car with Koni Sport Kit installed (headlight rings and door handles painted now as well as JCW brakes):

WOW Dopamine, that looks SWEET!! I actually looked at those wheels when I was narrowing down my wheel choices (coming soon, I hope). They do look nice on your ride. Thinking of going with something similar.

PGT, car is looking good. I hope I can join the club soon.

thank you all very much....i wasnt 100% on those wheels so, to hear that you like 'em makes me feel better.

i originally ordered the Tenzo DC-5s but, they didnt fit without a huge spacer and i wasnt going for that. so, i sent them back and got those instead. they remind me of my Team Dynamics so, its keeps a smile on my face. i actually sold the Dynamics to Lukifer yesterday. i shed a lil tear....i will miss those.
