Picking up an 06 JCW tomorrow
#31
These are the coolest OEM rims for first generation MINI, imho... I wanted them for years. I was so glad that my 06 JCW came "stock" with this set. I have all season tires on, and have them on the car from October till April (I don't drive her once the salt is on the Toronto streets ). In May, I put white NM Eng set with summer rubber... The RSe05 rims are one of the lightest you can find in 17" and they fit over JCW BBK. The offset is also low enough so they "poke" the right amount-flush so no need for spacers
I know that the design is not for everybody, but if you like rims that you can clean in minutes and you like "5 star" idea go for these...

I would like wheels that lessen the load for my summer driving. Wheels somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 or 17 pounds makes more sense to me.

Great looking JCW! In regards to wheels, if you want to make your Mini LOADS more fun to drive, go with a noticeably lighter wheel. The heavier wheel options slow the car, increase braking distance, and lessen the handling.
Bigger wheels may look better to a lot of folks, but they're generally heavy wheels, unless you're spending LOTS of money. Go smaller, go lighter, and go faster!

Nice to see all these aero kit MINIs, lots of the kits are going NLA and now the front fog light inserts are NLA. Its going to be a very rare thing here soon.

Some that are left, most gen 1 and gen 2 painted kits are NLA. Get them while you can, lots of older JCW stuff has gone NLA also. So if you see it, jump on it. Just talked about that here.
