Default Turbo S Delta X ripoff

Look what Mini did

It's an optional wheel for the Countryman called the R125. Looks almost exactly like the Delta's with some minor changes...

Never thought I'd be quoting the movie Highlander, but...

There can be only one!

They should have ripped off a more attractive wheel.

LOL

I don't consider them an attractive rim either. Just brutish looking, but NB's seem to work well with big chunky rims (e.g. Audi TT Fat Five's ).

I think BBS probably made them for Mini. The Deltas look more aggressive though IMO. The R125's are a weak rendition.

It's such a unique design though they should have retired it with the TS instead of pimping it out to Mini. I feel betrayed.
