Wheel confirmation

I was hoping someone could give me a confirmation on this wheel. It's stange but searches I've found either show R127's with no pics, or they are listed as "5 star double spoke alloy wheel" as they are on this link I found from NAM http://libraryofmotoring.info/facts/wheels/. For some reason I never see the number classification associated with the description.

So....I'm just trying to confirm that the pic is designated "R127 Black Double Spoke" wheels. These are 18" and were an upgrade.

My other question is this: are these wheels considered a JCW upgrade? I actually didn't do the build myself, someone at the dealer did.

The cheapest I could find them through a search are from Midwest Wheel and Tire for $299/wheel....."reconditioned". If bought new, the cheapest I could find them was for $513/wheel from some guy on Ebay.

Thanks for any help, as you can see I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to Mini's. Sorry for the crappy pic!

Those wheels are R127 18x7" 5 star double spoke two piece black finish wheels (part #36109803727) optional for the 2011 - 2013 MINI Cooper Countryman. Not a JCW upgrade by itself but you can check with a dealership. Also comes in Anthracite finish.

Thanks minihune.....not sure how I missed that. That was exactly the confirmation I was looking for....I just did a lousy job of searching for it.

Wow....$612 each. I already pulled them off my wife's R60, and am about to put them up for sale. I was just trying to determine a price point with the r127's in combo with the oem Goodyear runflats + sensors.
