I've found a company that does a lovely set of wheels that I've never seen on a mini. There the correct pcd and everything but they don't ship outside the contintal usa. Basically I'm looking someone who would send me the wheels and take a small fee for there time and trouble

They're*. Depends what you want out of the car. I've just ordered a set of 13x7 ultralites as I love the look, grip is massively improved with the wider wheels although some say you lose the feel.

I suppose the only problem i've had is the wheels rub on my wide arches when I reverse at full lock. Doesn't matter that much.
But they do look a lot better in my opinion.

Think id feel better about it if I knew for definite what the surgeon will say regarding if I'm keeping my leg or not

Keep yer chin up mate - no matter what he says, just think to yourself that you will beat it and enjoy life no matter what is thrown at you. I had a good mate who was badly burned at 17 and a half on the Sir Galahad in the Falklands War (same ward etc as Simon Weston), fella lived life to the full.

Hopefully they can't as it should stop my pain and I'm already addicted to them and want off them
