i like the contrast between the car and the shiny bits, i do have polished lips on the wheels, so that adds to the effect.

This is the direct response that I got...

the best (only) way to work this out is to work out a group buy arrangement. Production takes anywhere between 2-3 months. We can leave the price at $699 as long as 100 wheels can be made.

Anyone want to find 25 people that want this wheel to be made. This is probably the sickest wheel for the mini, best price that I can find and I think people would be in like flin. Now lets find 25 people that want this wheel in either 17" or 18". The width would be 7.5" and the offset can be whatever we ask for. They are being very generous with this and really want to help the MINI community out.
Thanks
