Joking, right? If not, at the dealership or in the marketplace.

Those wheels are classic MINI two piece spoked wheels made by BBS.
Yes they are costly and come in silver and anthracite with polished lip finish.
17x7"

You have several options for that look.
Find someone selling a used set for about $1200.

Find a set of R90 in one piece 16x6.5" made by MINI or order a set new from the parts dept using your MINI club discount 15% off or BMW Car club discount for the same (these are commonly found discounts).

Look at similar looking wheels and decide if you want the two piece look with bolts or a one piece is acceptible or not.

See tirerack.com and look at their 16" and 17" rims.

Or check out the Flik Wasp in 17x7 4x100 bolt pattern +42 mm offset, 19 lbs
$99 each in black or gunmetal with polished lip.

Another possible wheel (not 2 piece)
Enkei Rpm2 (hyperblack) $194 each
17x7 +45 mm offset 18 lbs


Or from Tirerack.com
ASA AR2 17x7 machined with anthracite accent $159 One piece but has bolts
+42mm offset 21 lbs


Or Rial Nogaro Black with machined lip (special Order)
17x8" $189 each or 18x8 $209 each
