i remember when these came out a few years ago and i was very impressed that they made them small enough to fit a mini. (the first ones i saw were 17 or 18")

i have only ever seen a handful of minis with them fitted still, i thought they would have been very popular? light weight and a good alternative to the usual contenders. without looking boyracer. force racing do a split rim with very similar shaped spokes now too.

this is the only pic i could find, but i think they look great.

West has some on his Coupe. As you say they're not that popular.

At just under £200 a wheel in the 10'' version, they are very expensive compared to the standard issue minilites

I believe they were probably unpopular as they seem to be only available in 13's without paying silly money for force racing wheels.
