It's an option for sure but if I go to an aftermarket wheel then there will be insurance implications but if I keep the existing wheel or even replace with a genuine Mini wheel then that's not an issue. That's why I was attracted to the genuine web spoke alloys - they would make a nice change but at £500 I'd need to be sure I could sell my Pace alloys to reduce the overall cost.
I'm not in a hurry so will keep my options open for now and maybe something else will come up.
Must say if its these, then thats one of my fav set of wheels for the Mini.
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
You have to watch split rims - they are a nightmare to refurb and not many places will do it. Mine corroded on the join where salt had got between the two pieces of metal and ended up looking a right mess.
In saying that, they did look fantastic ;-)
I would deff try and get a warranty claim from MINI. BMW/MINI wheels are bad for corrosion and it's a knowen problem

Obviously don't expect a warranty claim if the corrosion is around stone chips or kerbing

I agree with the majority. Looks best in silver to match your roof.. These are the same wheels I've on Dougall. Could you do me a favour and photoshop them in black, but not shiny black so I can see what they'd look like? Cheers
