Super nice. I usually don't like the look of 18s, but these have a great appearance. I like the staggered approach also.

let me say this first, DPE is a great company in regards to making wheels for other makes, and their customer service was pretty good regarding the issues that we had. that being said, if i were to get another car, i would probably get some DPE's for it.

to make a long story short, they could not make the wheels i wanted. i have a brembo BBK that i wanted/still want to put on the MINI, but for some reason DPE could not make a wheel for my car. I was told that in order for my wheels to fit the BBK, they (DPE) would have to make spacers for the wheels to fit... now, i don't know about you, but when a custom wheel company makes wheels, they are suppose to be "custom." right? so after a whole bunch of emails sent and recieved and a whole bunch of phone calls made, i decided to just cancel my order with them.

i wish i could tell you too... unfortunately, JLine doesn't disclose their offset information. the only thing i could do is take off the wheels and measure it. but im lazy.
