Wheels?
Assuming for the moment that these are genuine, what you have are Mini's R90 wheels. The originals are manufactured by BBS and are 17x7. They are a true 2-piece design and are very sought after. This wheel is available in three colors; Silver, Anthracite, and Gloss Black. This wheel is popular enough that "replica"(fakes) are widely available.

Check the little bolts that hold the wheels together, if they have little BBS's on them then your wheels are genuine, if not they may be fakes so you will need to check the back of the rim for the BBS stamped on the inside of the rim.

Good Luck,

Dan

The good news: made by BBS. 2-piece design, not a 1-pc with fake bolts. The bad news? They're heavier than boat anchors.

Just a point of potential interest to you... Those wheels are worth around $400 each and possible more depending on their condition.
