It's interesting the MINI SE's center caps were retained. Perhaps those wheels went on just for the photos. They look so wrong on that car!

Can't change the center caps on Power Spoke wheels, they're built into the cover piece. Unless someone knows of some magic trick to separate out the center part, but I don't think there is one. My dealer certainly said there wasn't and I had to buy caps for my snow wheels.

Crrrrrinnnngggge! Of course, if that VW owner was really serious, he'd install a MINI hood scoop, too.

I appreciate the playfulness and creativity of the person who did that.

I never subscribe to the "traditionalist" and/or "purist" viewpoint which I find rather rigid, boring and uninspiring.

I recall seeing mk1/2/3/4 VW rocking Mercedes Benz wheels in VAG events and I thought it was fun and interesting.

Oh, I forgot--they're actually standard center caps, but I think you'd have to break the wheel cover to get them out.

You can probably just use duct tape and rip it out. I mean my center caps went to my winter loop spokes and now I have self-balancing ones for the black tentacle wheels.

Any idea what the MSRP of the power spoke wheels are?

I have a set of "like new" with the factory summer tires that I took off shortly after I took delivery that I might consider selling at the right price.
 
Seattle MINI parts shows them for at least $500 per wheel (I think, the name doesn't match the picture), which sounds right to me. I spent roughly that much to get actual Spectre Grey wheels for my snow tires.
