Finally found a shot of the new 17" Web-Spoke wheels...

Mark Scheuern took a couple of really nice shots of some MINI's at the 2005 North American International Auto Show which happened to of had the new Web-Spoke wheels on them (one hardtop and one convertible):

They look really nice to me!

Thanks for the GREAT pictures Mark!

 

Man I like the looks of these wheels. Glad I ordered them.

Thanks for the post OP.

 

I do like the look of those... very nice...

 

You're welcome!

Any idea how heavy they are?

 

I'm not 100% sure if this is correct or not, but the specs floating around here (and on MINI2) claim that they weigh in at right around 22.3 lbs.

 

Any idea how much these will cost, not as an option (an additional 500 on top of the sports package), but separately... like say i want to replace my s-lites with these. Not really a performance move, but i do like the spokey look.

 

If you buy them with a new car (not as part of the Sport Package), the factory charges a $1,100.00 upcharge over the stock wheels and tires. However, I'm sure that the dealer is going to get more than that for them. If I had to guess, I'd say that they will be in the same price range as the 17" R90's which are around $420 each (or $2,600 for all four with tires).
