Neuspeed RSe11Rs on my 2023 Cooper SE

Rims are a perfect fit, decided to go with stock center caps to keep the yellow theme consistent throughout. Tires are 225/40-18 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2. I was not expecting the lip around the bead of the rim, this setup would have cleared the shock body just fine were it not for that. Fortunately it only barely rubs... going to see how a set of coilovers fits behind them before I commit to a spacer.

Do the wheels match the "bronze" trim on the car as well as it looks in the photos? I have a resolute edition too, I wanted to try to find a set of wheels that would match the trim but gave up and stuck with black. That looks really good. I may have to make some changes

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that tire being that close. I'm far from an expect there though

The wheels are gunmetal, they're not an exact match for the bronze trim of the Resolute package. They're very close to the color of the factory Corona rims so it still works great with the overall look of the car.

Always liked NM wheels!!
The lip on the tire is the tire manufacturer trying to help avoid wheel rash from curbs.

Im the type that would find a way to shave the lip down a little before resorting to spacers.
It's solid rubber!

I’ve definitely considered trying to trim that lip off.
