Nice
They look a lot like my old Seki's from G-Racing, at least in form. Of course these are Hyperblack with a polished lip.

thanks anyways, your efforts are definitely appreciated.
i think with 215/40/17's (or 205/45/17... need that stretch) on the optimise
and a 5mm spacer it can look similar to those works. but the rear on those
works is too aggressive imho.

Kenchan, these come with different caps. They still say Rays but the cap is all black and don't stick out as much as the usual Rays cap.
I'll post a pic soon.

I would guess 22 lbs. Not the lightest for 18" in the market though.
I use 225/35 x 18# Toyo Proxes T-1S.
It's custom made, real 3 pieces wheel, you can order on any bolt pattern or off-set to fit your application.
Here is the dealer:

Maxicooper -- your car looks terrific. Your pictures all seem to have a greenish tint, though. (I know, totally nitpicking...)

Surprisingly, "Royal Gray" is kind of greenish though.
As the offset, Not positively sure but I believe it's +48.
