Another Flag feature on another car was the "Union" Style Alloys on the Rover 75. They were actually fashioned on the Union Flag.
But this wasn't as noticeable as the Rear Lights On the MINI. In fact largely went unnoticed!

apart from the Union Flag being a cross (4legs) in front of the Xs (also 4legs) and the above wheel being 5 and 5.
I see no ‘flag’ - still a nice wheel though.

If you feel your Großer's wheels are looking a bit tired...
(How these ever got off the drawing board!)

You know what, nor do i....????

But I see a wheel that resembles a flag with extra bits added.

And if you were just as observant about what I actually stated as you were about the wheel you would have noticed that I said, and I quote, "Flag feature". Just like on the New Mini Rear lights, which I'm surprised you didn't notice being so observant and all...???

ive seen the mini lights, and yes they are pretty cool, and evoke the Union flag much better than those wheels.

... still nice wheels.
