Doesn't look to good right now, but who knows. I bought some other wheels for now to get by

There have been quite a few posts from people expressing interest, but no one except me has contacted the company or even posted their interest or wishes to include size, width, offset, etc. here There have been over 150 views, but no additional posts

They'll make what ever size we want, but we have to let them know. We can't ask for much more than that.

That's a good question. I don't know, but you could ask here

BTW, I looked on sector111.com for the offset, but didn't see it listed. They did have an interesting wheel comparison chart though - http://www.sector111.com/images/prod...comparison.pdf

I was informed that the wheel weight should be closer to 13.4 lbs.

You could bolt them up, but they'd stick out too far.

The Elise/Exige has a 4x100 bolt patern and 56.6 center bore - perfect for a MINI. However, the offset for the rear (17") wheels is +18.

I looked into the 17x7.5 Lotus lightweight forged wheels, but they just don't have enough positive offset. Pretty expensive, too. Around $500 per wheel, iirc.

Here they are on a M3 ...

I'm sure they are awesome wheels but they don't look expensive at all, moreover they don't look right on an M3. Also, you would have to be a wheel enthusiast to know these wheels cost big bucks.

Now with MINIs, this wheel may look pretty good but I still wouldn't buy em, there are too many good looking wheels out there for cheaper price.

Well, the DPE wheels I want are around 3600 bucks. But, they are going on my BMW. My Mini looks hot with my $500 a set wheels...

BBS makes/made some really cool wheels, but they seem to be dropping them and the replacements aren't as interesting. Plus, they seem to reserve most of the good stuff for the five-lug rear drivers.
