Lol....this thread is dream wheels if/when money isn't an issue. Why dream for fake replicas when you could dream for the real BBS LM's?

Right now I'm thinking R99 or R90, but I'm tempted to go for something much less common.
Work Emotion XT7 - can't find a picture of any Minis with these.
Or Panasport C8FE (probably a more fitting choice for a Mini, yet I can only find 2 pictures of Japanese Minis wearing them)

Was searching the web looking for info on Rota RBs when I saw these, looks like a leaner, sharper s-lite
Have you found any more info on these?

Split rim porsche twists

And in my dream world these would come in 17x8 and 4x100 instead of 5 lug and huge.

Nah they aren't porsche fitment, so you'd have to do a 2-piece adapter which makes the offset of most wheels too low to run, unfortunately. There are some one-piece adapters for those lug patterns. but they're mad sketchy.

I'm not spending any money on wheels these days, but they are on Panasport's web site so it shouldn't be any trouble to get them. Give them a call: 310-373-0071.

If the S-Lites were only LIGHT. It's just timeless for the Mini.
