2024 with new 18s

Not the best wheel on the market, but needed something fast and these were an inexpensive option. Not a lot of options in bronze wheels in 17 or 18 so will be replacing these with something better that i have powder coated next summer. Car is on stock suspension and it looks like it could use a 5mm spacer on rear to even out for whatever reason. But for now..

Elegance Wheel, Elegant E010, 18x8 et35 with 215/40/18.

12 lbs Holies Molies!!! The white in the snow look good! These wheels are OEM? And they could maybe still be found for purchase?

Yes, wheels are OEM, but sadly, discontinued.
Outmotoring has them for about $175 each: https://www.outmotoring.com/light-al...ole-white.html
My snow tire set was purchased used and they work and look just great.
(I do tend to wax and polish them regularly, but that's just how I keep my almost 200,000 mile MINI rolling)

Thanks, she was built to order.
Wheels are 15 inch-amazing for cornering.
I'll pass on the window tint, though.
(I've noticed folks like checking out the retro-style dash and interior.)

NM Engineering 18" RSe12 Wheels - 18.8lbs ea.
Pretty much "out of stock" most of the time, unless you want black.

Coupe!!!!!!! Nice! I’m shopping for my R59.

Are those available 17 or 16? For more lightweight?
