What size wheels and rims should i put on my 06 cooper?

 

For Performance.

 

For the road? Autocross / track?

Wheels have rims You mean wheels and tires?

 

check out the tire forum there are great write ups there.

 

Ok thanks I will do that

 

I have an R50 and love my 16" R90s from Morristown MINI on-line sales. I hated those 15" old man rims that were on the car when I bought it.
Before and after pics:


Huge improvement .... YES and the 16" R90s are very reasonable from Morristown MINI.

Nice! I like that look a lot. I may go with some 16's after seeing yours!

 

Another view with Kuhmo Ecsta AST 205-50-16s

 

I have 18 x 7 on my mini and its great..

heres a pic of my o.z's

 

Friday those look amazing. I love the mesh style of the R90, it's even what I went with myself but damn, Im starting to want to go back something like this. That anthracite color is spot on.

 

I want to go with the 17s like the mini cooper S's

 

17" Koniq Feathers are what I have been using for about a so year and I love em. Got mine from Alta. Got them on a speacil deal, wheels and tires under $1000.

 

i put these on my car a few months back... its an r56 but i love them
they're KMC 16"

OEM 15 inch wheels or a light weight 15 inch alternative with some 205/50-15 tires.

 

OEM 15s are great, they are super light. Only drawback is they are narrow at 5.5", however I still run 195s on them. I will eventually upgrade to a lightweight 15x8 wheel.

 

There are a few brave souls who have been running 205/50-15 on OEM wheels before(I have a set of 205/50-15 R888 mounted on them now for track use). Not the best fit from what I understand, but I used to run 195/55-15 Kumho ASX on my Holeys and I loved the ride and it definitely was a serious improvement over stock!

And, the Holeys is still one of the best looking wheels on our car imho! Still thinking about running something wider too, but that is what the 17 inch lightweights are for
