I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering: I only need one, right? The website seems to think I need 4...

ECS Tuning is thinking you might like to make a fashion statement, like those who drive around with fancy tow-hooks hanging from their bumpers. (Or maybe they have an over-supply of this slow-selling item.)

(No, I don't have 4, but I have one--and Photoshop.)
 
Yeah it sure does seem odd that they'd go through the trouble of a two-tone refinish and choose not to emulate either the Iconic or Resolute Corona Spokes.

The ugliest wheels you put on any car and price and balancing trouble don’t make any sense in my opinion BMW just screwed up to try be innovative .IMG_1448.webp
 
Not only that, but the MINI text orientation appears to be 90° off compared to the normal orientation of the outlet pins.

Don't forget to order one of the Power Spoke balancing appliances, too. I wonder how many of those were made and if their prices are also falling?

Got that... though if I got the wheels I'd probably ask the dealer to install them. I assume the "middle cover" and center cap could be moved over.
 
I found a set of Corona wheels in UK i might have my friend go pick up for me. £450 He has already secured a set of 16 inch wheels for my Fiat. Ill ship them back when I go end of September

It's almost time for the fall Drive Electric Week EV gathering, the annual day my SE gets to wear its Power Spokes. That day is always like driving through a minefield, with every curb beckoning like the Sirens calling to Jason and the Argonauts, "Come closer, come closer."

lol the joys of cargo discounts. I was seriously considering flying out of Burlington down to suburban Houston* to grab that free 18" JCW wheelset a while back, then did the math on parking at BTV, hotel nights (flight timing), renting an SUV, having a local shop remove and discard the runflats, getting the rims properly packaged, getting them back to IAH, paying (discounted) cargo to BTV, then coming home and driving them back across the border (and likely being assessed taxes there)... it became a little too complicated and costly for something I didn't really need.

* Our cargo discounts only apply to shipments on mainline within the US.
