Need some help on choosing a set of aftermarket wheels for my R56! Motegi/Konig/Enkei

Hey guys, so I bought my '09 MINI R56 back in May and i feel its time to slap
on some new light aftermarket rims! I have the sparkling silver with the black roof and the black stripes so I want black wheels. I currently have on 17" web spoke wheels on the OEM runflats.

So, I want to stick with my tires and my TPMS.

I need some advice on which wheels would look good and will fit the TPMS.

Team Dynamics Pro race / Enkei EDR9/ Motegi SP10/ Konig Bump Black

Would neone like to throw on some sweet pics?

All are nice but I would go with pic number 3.
I don't much like the red stripe on #1 and the gloss on #2 does not seem right to me.

I agree; go with #3. The red stripe and the gloss take away from the other 2.

I also have a SS/B with black sport stripes. I went with Tenzo DC5v2 on mine in flat black and a silver lip and I LOVE them! They look great and I have my OEM RFs on them with the TPMS. Just needed to get centering rings and tuner lugs.

I do like all 3 of your choices though. The 3rd set just looks the best.

BTW, you should check us out on the Sparkling Silver Owners' Club sometime. We need more people!

All you need to do is go here:

Just post something and you're in!

BTW, in case you were wondering why I personally didn't go with any of the choices you listed for wheels, it's because I wanted a silver lip to break up all the black, and none of those had that option.

I think #3 will complement the rest of your car the most.

They all look close to the same. I would base the choice on fit, weight, and price.

What do they each weigh?
How much are they?
What is the size and offset?
Are they all 4x100 only, or do they have multiple lug hole patterns?
Do they have a 56.1mm hub, or do they need centering rings?
