wheel size and other options for MCS in D stock
Greetings all. First post and about to pick up my first mini, an 06 MCS w/ sports package, LSD, chrono and no sunroof. I've been autox'g for the past 11 years. Had a chance to drive an 09 MCS last weekend at our last autox for the year and the car was a blast. Looks like I'm selling the 96 328i.
From what I've read on here, the JCW is limited to 17" wheels. What is the MCS allowed to run in DS? Are 16" wheels legal to run on an S w/ sports package?
Would appreciate knowing what other options would make this handle better in autox in regard to shock/struts and brake pads. Seems like Koni's are the defacto shock, but I think their build quality has really suffered over the last few years. Many folks in my club complain of blowouts.
Any general autox tips would be appreciated including alignment settings.

Have a peek over at the SCCA Forums, particularly for Craig Wilcox "oasistan" who was runner up at Nationals this year. The same car took the DSL jacket.
This sort of search might be helpful too.
Cheers,

Can anyone offer any suggestions for wheels for a 2010 factory JCW? I want some lighter wheels for autox events but want to stay in the stock class...
I wanted the OZ alleggerita hlt's but it looks like their offset will bump me out of stock.
What other options are out there with similar weight?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I may be getting a lug/stud conversion kit so I can swap wheels at events. this would make it a lot easier.
so I should ask: if I do not use factory lugs, what seat lug do I need? from what I can find on the interwebs conical seems to work just fine.
Thanks
