We are on tight water restrictions here. Used to be $400 fine if you were caught using a hose, or watering something other than a plant. And good old 4 minute showers 
But if cleaning is not an issue go for chrome. I did
PS: I can see the links and one lil blue box with a question mark in it below the last link. (I am on a mac)

Yeah funny story. I had arranged to get a different set of wheels. Sat around for 20 minutes waiting for the wheels to be fitted, got bored and went to a nearby car part store. Came back and they said the wheels i had choosen didnt fit with the mini cooper lugs. They happened to have my current set hidden away in boxes. Love at first sight lol. 30 minutes later they were on the car.
PS. Post some pictures of your Mini. See what style rims will suit it.

That's the problem; I don't have it yet. I ordered on 4/21 However, I do have a picture of a car with the same color combo. These are actually the wheels I have ordered, but I'm not sure if I want to keep them.

Ah I see. Looks like a nice colour combo. Should look good with any type of rim.

I think I found my wheels. They look like the R90 Mini wheels that sell for $3600, however they are only $105/wheel. What do you think?

So are you saying that the Mini wheel is made by BBS? I did wonder what the difference in Quality was. The $3600 for the Mini mesh wheels doesn't seem so bad if they in fact are BBS wheels. Thanks.

Yup....the r90 is made by BBS. They are real 2-piece as well which plays a big part in the high price tag.

I believe these are Tenzo GF-7's. They look really nice, anyone else have an opinion or pic?

ASA AR1 are 'Licensed by BBS', meaning they pay BBS a fee for the look. They are made in Korea and better than the unknown Drag wheels. Not much more....a set a silver ASA AR1's is a perfect choice on a MINI (look up in the last page or two...pics of a silver MINI from Coen de K...18" ASA AR1's).
