opinion/poll which wheels should i buy

i think ive narrowed down the wheels i want to two choices, but was wondering if anyone could tell me any information about the two/ their thoughts of which one would look better on my car ( i refer you to the gallery for the car)

i would like to know the weights of either of these if any one happens to know as they are not posted on the momo website
momo ten-s-black
high res

or
momo RPM- black

both in 17"

My dad has the RPM on his MCS and they look really nice. But those ten S's look pretty sweet IMO.

Definitely the ten-s. Sorry guys, the rpm's look like something you'd find on an Integra. I'd probably check the weight on these bad boys though, as the Momo X-1s I used to have weighed 29lbs per rim & it turned the handling from nimble to that of a Mack truck.

Ten-S here. 10-spoked wheels look friggin' incredible on the MINI in my opinion.

Tough call...I'd edge towards the straighter spoke look as well.

ten-s

Ten-s for me too, although I've got to admit I'm not big fan of either wheel...

The black MOMOs would look great. As a MOMO Warehouse Distributor, we can offer NAM members special pricing on any MOMO wheel.

Feel free to PM us if we can help.
