Looking for wheel suggestions for my PW R56 S with Aero Kit

Howdy folk's,

After recently installing the JCW aero kit (see below), I've decided to replace the S-lites that I have on my R56 S. I've looked at the Rota RB's, but I am undecided. I've kept the various chrome pieces, so something with a polished lip would be nice. Any suggestions?

Cheers!
~Matt

Could go with the Challenge wheels to match the challenge stripes.

R112 MINI Challenge Cross Spoke Wheel 17" (4x100) Black part # 36116795208

Or

R112 MINI Challenge Cross Spoke Wheel 17" (4x100) Silver Part # 3611678413

Don't know if you like the R113 JCW Rad Cross Spokes, they have a touch red line. Then maybe add some red touches to your MINI.

R113 JCW LM Rad Cross Spoke Wheel 18" (4x100) Black With Red Stripe

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Thanks for thoughts and links! Those are on my short list. Although, personally I prefer the silver over the black.

Does anyone have a picture of Rota RB's on a PW R56? I've seen ones on the silver white, but not PW.

Thanks!

You are welcome,

Thought maybe the black can go with the dual black stripes , but the silver can match against the black jack silver highlights. And the challenge wheel pair well with the stripes.

Thanks

We had the Black RB's on our 07 test car, if I can find an old pic I'll post it.

You might also check out the NM wheels, I just put a set on my GP
