A bunch of GTO folks (I traded my GTO for the MCS) use ROH wheels with good satisfaction.

Things to consider before you purchase that set:
What do they weigh?
Are you prepared to spend all the time cleaning each of those crevices, especially if you have stock brake pads?

Cleaning those things is going to be a nightmare and we all know how MINIs shed brake dust like it is their JOB
