The wheels I'm looking at are Advanti FS Fastoso. I found them close to where I live. The gentleman had them on a VW CC. I just want to make sure that they will fit. They will poke almost an inch beyond the stock 16 inch rims. The price is right, but wasting his time and mine doesn't seem right.

The rear will fit just fine and you won't get rubbing if you stick to factory recommended 18" sizes. If you go with a meatier tire expect a little rubbing on the inner plastic fender. The front will poke a bit past the fender. To see how much just take a look at some of my pics earlier in this thread.
I don't know yet. My fallback plan is the RSe12 I think but I'd really like to find an 8" wide wheel.
I'm sorta in the same boat with the RSe12's. I like them a lot, but if there were more wheel options on this car, I'd probably go with something else. I also like the 17x7.5 OZ Leggera Hlt 50et, but I'm not sure if it'll have the same slightly concave look the 18x8 48et have.
I originally wanted LM reps, but there really aren't any that fit this car. TSW snetterton and tremblant are probably the closest, but I prefer the RSe12's over them.

You think you're limited on choices? Try having a JCW or the JCW brakes, then you are truly limited.

Haha, yeah, I feel bad for you guys. I'm not sure if I'd consider downgrading from the JCW brakes if I had one. It's not like the options significantly improve.

If we could convince Enkei to offer their 18x8 et 45 RPF1 in our bolt pattern and centerbore I'd be happy as a clam. I tried emailing them but never heard back.
I can't find any pictures of anyone with silver rse12's on a dark colored mini. Most here have the black/gm finish, which looks good, but I'm curious how the silver would look.
Silver on dark colors is the best combination IMHO. Unless you're not looking to have any contrast. But wheels should be the focal point of the car, so a little contrast is a good thing.
Any of you guys tried Performancealloys.com(U.K.) and had wheels shipped to the states?
I found these Dotz Revvo wheels along with a lot of other options I don't see in the US. $200 isn't terrible for shipping, so I'm really considering it.
Here is a thread I started in the event anyone wanted more information with a more aggressive fitment https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...18x8-40-a.html
But basically TD ProRace 1.2, 18x8, +40 with a 225 Re-71R (closer to most companies true 235)
It takes a lot to fit these, but I think it's worth it!
