That's curious. Are there any other wheels over 7.0 on their site.

I believe the listing is in error.

I have not seen an OEM Mini wheel any wider than 7 inches. Even the JCW 18 inch wheels are only 7 inches in width.

Hope this helps...

I seen mention of S-lytes being 17x7.5 but that is always in error.

Stock MINI wheels are always 17x7.
