I have a PW/PW 2009 CooperS with factory 16x6.5 wheels. I have two questions.
If I put 16x7 40mm offset wheels on, will the outer wheel lip be 9/16" further toward the outside of the car than the factory wheels? (1/4" more wheel width and 5/16" for the difference in 40 and 48 offset).
Yes. Don't worry, there's room for it.

What color wheels do you think looks best (or worst) on a PW/PW? Polished, plain silver, steel grey, or gunmetal.
Silver, but that's just my preference. Go with what you like.
Thanks for answering all my questions so fast. Since my Mini is set up for 12mm bolts and wheels have 14mm holes, how does that work (tuner bolts)? What size tire would you put on the 17X7.5 (215X45-17)?

Reason: more questions
Which of your 17" wheesl will not fit the JCW Sport Brake Kit (4 pot brembos)?

I bought a set of the Rota Torque wheels from you a while ago. Do you know if these will work if i upgrade to the JCW brakes and / or the Stoptech BBK? My car is a 2003 MCS, and the wheels were 17 X 7.5".

The photos confuse me. While the spacers on the LH have a centering ring the ones on the RH do not which makes me think that those are the 3 mm "wafers".
Which is which on that page and are the bolts 5 mm longer AND black? Sorry for insisting.

Rota warehouse is out of RB 16X7 (40 ET, 4X100, 56.1) in Silver. Any idea when Rota will be restocking its warehouse with this wheel? (Seems like a very popular wheel).
Yes RB, sorry.. I think I am going to go 16" as long as I'm doing it, plus they fit as a bonus. What size tires on the 16" and are they in stock? Probably the gunmetal.

You could do stock tire size (195/55R16), or 205/50R16.

thanks, i'm trying to picture how 205/50-16 will look. have not found a pic so far. Would the 205/50-16 have about the same diameter as my 215/45-17's?
