aftermarket wheels for 09 factory JCW

Hey guys.

I've been searching these boards extensively for aftermarket wheel options for an 09 factory JCW.

I've narrowed my choices down to three wheels, all 17x7.

OZ ultraleggera

Konig feathers

Team Dynamics pro race 1.2

All three of these wheels are between 15.5 and 16.5 lbs and are cast.

I've chosen these wheels because they're within my budget, have a reputation for being strong and lightweight, and look great in black.
I'm fairly sure they all clear the JCW brakes.

From those of you who own or know about these wheels, does one of them stand out from the rest in terms of quality? Is there another wheel that I should be considering that's similar?

Thanks.
Kevin

Rota Slipstream are along the lines of Konig but OZ and TD are sweet.

Those are all really sweet wheel choices. Please post some pics when you get them on your car. Have you decided on what tires you're getting (assuming you are purchasing new tires with them)?

Best of luck in your decision.

I'm currently working on purchasing a leftover midnight black 09.
It has the stock wheels on it since the dealer put R113's on it, then decided to take them off to make the car more affordable.
I'm planning on just swapping the runflats from the crown spokes on to these wheels since they all have the same dimensions.
I hate runflats, but since I'm paying for them, I might as well use them.

I'll definitely post pics!

Kevin
