Well my boss has an 03/04? Mini Cooper S... bought used but he PIMPed his out.... he moved from the stock 17" 8 spoke wheels to the cool fork style wheels.... Well everyday i have to swing by his place to get that days supplies before i hit the road, and every day i see his old stock wheels in his shed..... very clean wheels, tires about 50% life.... but he might be willing to sell cheap!!! So i went to tire rack, grabbed some images, did a quick chop and...

This is what it could look like.... i think the relevent size in the pic is about 16" and the ones i wunna buy are 17"..... But i'm a lil tossed up right now, and wanted to see what others think.....

Let me know........

If you had stock rims, and those mini rims were SUPER
cheap, I'd consider it. Otherwise, you can get a good set of
rims and tires shipped for around $650 or so.

Looks just like the stock '05 alloy wheels you get as an option from the stealer. But I think they look good. Get 'em.

Those wheel and tires combos weigh well over 50lbs each (thats a 27lb wheel i believe).

I was looking into the 15" ones, but they're high offset (45/50mm), so I'd have to get a spacer.
