I am looking to replace the stock GP wheels (as I find the God awful ugly) with a set of either matte black close to the JCW Championship style or I may even consider gunmetal grey. They do not have to be OEM. I do not care about weight here. I am looking for a high quality wheel and tire recommendation. I am not racing my GP, and yes, I am a woman, but I still love to get up and go in my Mini, just not track it!!! ;-)

 

Every site I look on, I cannot tell whether or not there will be clearance of the larger brakes. If anyone has pictures of their GP with different wheels, please post!!!

Personally, I am not fond of the stock GP2 wheels either. I use them for snow tires. For summer daily drivers, I found a set of 18" GP1 wheels. I love the look but I had to add a set of 16 mm spacers with longer lug bolts to the front wheels. I also have a set of 17" NM wheels for track and autocross. No spacers required.

Check this link for pictures and commentary regarding alternative wheels for the GP.

I'm a big fan of rotary forged TSW wheels. I don't know what they make for the MINI, but I got a set for my VW.
