Who Makes The Lightest Wheel?
I've searched and read, and searched some more, to find who makes the lightest wheels for our beloved marque. To date, who does?
Thank you for your time, MOTORRR

Try here for a list of factory and aftermarket wheel weights: http://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/47519.phtml

Depends a lot on the size. The MINI uses the same center bore as a Honda Civic with 4x100 bolt pattern: 56.1mm, factory offset is ~+48mm
