Would love some recommendations/advice on a set of summer wheels for my R59
Good day all!
I finally ran my original run flats (16") down on my Roadster S. The stock wheels now are shod with (non runlflat) snow tires until March or so.
Instead of swapping tires on the stock wheels twice a year, I would prefer to purchase a set of summer wheels.
The suspension is stock (minus a big rear bar) and will likely stay that way at least until they start to wear.
I am looking for a great fitment and something wide enough to fill out the wheel wells, however I am not interested in going bigger than a 17" wheel.
Weight, strength, and good looks are important to me. I would also prefer to avoid hub adapters.
I briefly considered BBS LM's but they are pretty strong ($500ish per corner) for a mini.
I have also considered some of the stock JCW wheels but would love to hear what you all run/like.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Thanks! I saw the NM wheel- I really like the 18" that they make, also not a huge 5 spoke fan.
I could get get away with 18's as we have great roads in Nevada, but I only see downsides with an 18 (tire cost, harsh ride, increase in unsprung weight) unless I want a really big brake package.
