    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.)

    Talk about an SE fashion statement, I saw these used Power Spoke rims with new winter tires on the German website of WerksRaeder24, "Europe's largest supplier of original BMW & MINI wheels" for €1,999.00, VAT incl., plus shipping:

    Why are the wheels missing all the milled surfaces of the Corona spokes? Do they know that silver spray paint will leave drip marks?

    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.jpeg
     
  9. Not only that, but the MINI text orientation appears to be 90° off compared to the normal orientation of the outlet pins.

    I fixed it for you (the ivory rectangle behind the wheel is a British wall outlet):

    I think it would have been easier just to rotate the center cap.

    I was anticipating a secondary complaint about pin-spacing if all I did was rotate the center cap.

    I though it would have been the missing on/off switch...but that's as strange as separate hot and cold faucets or carpeting the bathroom.
