I have a 2009 Astro Black (Black with Blue metal flake for those who don't know) JCW with Aero Kit. I'm looking to buy a set of wheels for it and am having a hard time figuring it out.

I'm thinking OZ Alleggerita or OZ Ultraleggera. Also, debating Black, Silver or anthracite finish. Any thoughts form anyone else would be fantastic? Any other suggestions?

My parameters are lightweight, 17" and not insanely expensive.

Thanks,

Jack

 

Well, its opinion more than fact but I have always thought that black rims only look good on strong, solid colour cars like black, white or red. The styles you mention look great though and they are fairly light which is ideal. If it was my money, I'd look at a couple of them next to the car at your local shop (if you have a good shop they will let you do this) and then pull the trigger, rather than keep over thinking it.

 

www.wheelsnext.com will allow you to view the wheels you are looking at on "your" MINI!!

 

Thanks for the thoughts guys!
