I've been trying for about a year. The one distributor who I thought would be able to, can't get them. Just recently, I've tried two additional ones and both said they are unable to.

OK, I emailed Wheeldude.

This is what they told me...

Unfortunately the Blitz are no available in the US. It would need to be special ordered, which would require a minimum order of 3 sets.
I asked about requirements/pricing.

And I sent another email to rotawheel who then told me to reach out to racinglab. Haven't heard back yet

Here's what I was told from racinglab
"Blitz not sell in USA (Only in Asia)"

Well, hopefully the response you receive is better than the news I got. Three sets is not alot and if you and I are both in, I'm sure someone else would jump in. Heck, just to get them here, I'd buy the additional set myself! Lol

Or buy and ship direct to you from Asia-

But shows no stocked fitments for MINI.

Wonder why no Blitz in US?

Or this?

Update from Wheeldude.com

All sets will need to be identical in size, color, offset. I do not have pricing for the wheels, but Im gonna assume they're around $700 for a set. It's a $200 deposit and the full amount will need to be paid once the wheels arrive. Typical turn around time is 10-12 weeks.

Im thinking a 17x7, offset in the high 30s, low 40s.

I do want a gold wheel though. That might be tough to convince others to do the same.

I would love a gold wheel. I'm not sure if the Blitz is available in gold though. I've only seen gunmetal and hyper silver.

I share the same preferences for size and offset as you
