Recommend 17" Alloy Wheel

The thing is I am getting my yellow mellow body paint with black top roof cooper tomorrow. I can't really describe how crazy excited I am but I am wondering if anyone here can suggest some selection of 17" inch wheel. My cooper is gonna come with the stander 16" wheel, and I would rather replace it and probably sell them on ebay(anyone knows about the average price for set of 16" original cooper rims+tires?).
Since my roof and mirror cover are going to be black, guess smoke black color with spoke style rim will be pretty mach with it in my mind. But I search from internet and tirerack.com seem don't have too many selection. Can anyone help me or provide me the brand of rims that fits my car?

Thanks

Look through the "Show me your wheels" thread in the wheel/tire subforum. There's bound to be something you like in there. You can fit damn near any rim on a MINI with the right equipment.

Team Dynamics makes some in the Pro Race series in Anthracite. Look at the Pro Race 1 (multispoke), 1.2, and 2 (five spoke) at Outmotoring. There are several example pictures of PR1s about, not many of the others.

I'm running these right now...



I think they'd look great on a yellow car.

Rota RB, 17x7.5". We have them in stock right now.
