The wheels are ASA AR-2's, NA until end of July .
I don't drive the Mini in winter, road salt causes skin cancer...

Seriously though, those are some beautiful wheels, and the paint scheme looks great too. I might just have to put those on a wishlist if I get a Clubman (maybe an inch smaller)...

Classy and a whole lot cheaper than actual classic BBS RSs. Good work. Can I tempt you in a slight drop, perhaps?

The pic looks good, but we really can't tell what the wheels look like.
How about a close up?

working on it i'll have my shutterbug friends take a few pics of the rims in broad daylight

the rims are Starform Real Racing Model II, they look a lot like Volk Racing RE30 and Rota SVNs but lighter
