You could get the MINI center caps from any MINI dealer.

Guys,
Peter has given his email so feel free to contact him directly. He is having troubles being able to post since he is a vendor and NAM has to have a agreement in place with vendors. He has not produced a product yet for the MINI hence the reason why he was approached on making this wheel. I think that he is being more than generous and he should be rewarded by our business if he can come up with a wheel that is highly similar to the BMW wheel.
Thanks

Okay I guess I would seriously be in if I had a couple of my questions answered. Im going for the "euro" look on my car and ironically I just had an accident and trashed my summer R90s and the tires that went with them. The "euro" look is something with a good sized lip. Will these have it? I really don't know whether I would want 17s or 18s with these if Im going for a more euro look. What sort of finish will these have on them? I really like the finish similar to that on the wheel that comes from BMW, like a hyper silver or polished look no?

Thanks! I hope we can get enough people!

ChiliCooperS,
I would direct all your questions to Peter directly regarding the wheels and there make and the quality of them. However from what I have heard and seen they are some darn good quality wheels that cost a fraction of what BBS or other manufacturers cost. I think it would be neat if we could get enough people as well, but I honestly dont know if it is going to happen now with all the excitment gone about the wheel.
Thanks

I can't say for sure that this wheel would have a euro look since it doesn't have a lip per se, but it's more of a concave type of wheel.

I'm hoping for an aggressive offset but don't know if it's possible with this wheel design and/with on our cars.

I realize that the more people we have, the cheaper the cost, but what if we just went with the amount of people we have now? Would they still make it for us that are sure? Thanks...

I will ask Peter, and see what the new cost is on this. Man being an organizer really is tiring , but glad to help you guys out.
Will wait to see what the price is for a set then.
Thanks

Excitment GONE???? I'm still very excited, been searching and still haven't found a wheel that excites me as much as the CSL Wheel .

...don't make me sing another cheer and have racinbmw break out the pompoms again... well, actually that would be pertty exciting j/k.

I want a set in 17x7.5 ... still unsure about which offset would be right for my MCS . I have the JCW Suspension and might eventually go with a BBK setup.

"Come on MINI FREAKS who want/need new WHEELS, go with the CSL WHEELS, everyone is doing it ... well, 9 people are so far, but there will be more for sure ."

how's the offset and fit with this wheel on the mcs? I'm guessing with 7.5 they might stick out a little extra?

I just realized these are 20+ lbs... ?

If so, please remove me from the "thinking about it" list. I've ordered web spokes with my car that I like the look of, and I'd rather not replace them for wheels of the same (or more) weight.

Thanks!

Yah, what happened with this?? I would TOTALLY love a set of those wheels for the MINI! (I drool over the ones at the local BMW shop when I have my car over there)

17x7.5 with +38 or +40 offset, please, but I MIGHT consider the 18"ers too.

Interested in 18x7.5 and probably will buy but not before I see pictures on a Mini. Also, very important...

I own an 06 MCS that was built after August of 06 that has the newer bolt size, I believe. Can I get an affirmation that these would fit on my car? Thanks.
