Anyone have some good pics of 16 x 7 OZ Ultraleggera's in Graphite Satin (and / or Black) on a DS R56? Been searching for a while, but no luck so far.

Think I may be picking up a set of these, but I'm not sure how well the finish matches the paint on the MINI.

Where can I get these?

Rota's website only shows 18s for the Formulas. Where'd you get these 16s in black? They're freakin' awesome!

i have run 205/45R16 for a while now without any issues

i like the extra zip off the line and lower cg

have to watch for steep ramps esp with my h-sport springs

only trade off, speedo is off by a decent chunk at highway speeds 3-4mph, and revs are a tad higher when cruising on the highway (but you have one more gear than me, mc=5 speed), but neither of those are things that bother me...

My bad. I got to R90s and stopped reading and assumed that either the sig or the picture was out of date.
