    are you looking for replicas? OEM? because there are plenty of great aftermarket wheels that will most likely save you money (over the OEMs)... and you can drop a lot of the unsprung weight at comparable cost to OEM.

    Take the rim off and look on the inside and you may see a manufacturers stamping.

    They could either made by either BBS or maybe Enkei but I am sure the are heavy.

    Likely they are BBS. Enkeis are Japanese and I don't think MINI is using them as an OEM wheel... Just my thoughts, I could be wrong.

    It could be Ronal - they manufacture OEM wheels for Mini

    They are made by Borbet for sure, stamped on the inside of the rim.
