    Ahhh... the infamous and decidedly pricey BMW R90s.....
    yum..... very nice... but there's nicer ones out there for less dosh!!

    p.s... anyone else noticed in some of the stills for the film that one of the cars seems to be on 16s and the other two on 17s??
    or am I being a total geek?? - Ok.. don't answer that

    I didnt notice that but everytime i watch it i get the nagging feeling that one of the MCs changes to a MCS in some shots....probably just me being silly!

    Is there a cheaper nonMINI alternative to the R90 cross spokes? Any recommendations on alloys of same design?

    A much cheaper alternative are BK299, i too wanted the R90 wheels but wasn't paying nearly 2 grand! The BK 299 are pretty much identical and only cost about £650 for a set of 17's and tyres.
