Haven't seen much regarding these wheels. Some BMW owners as well as Subaru owners like them, and a few Ford Focus owners love them, but I've only seen one set on a MINI.
They should be fine. One review by owner says that color is closer to matte silver than Light Grey. 17x7" et37 is fine with stock suspension and can fit 205/45-17 or 215/45-17 size tires fine. 21 lbs isn't very light but OK and the price is good. What tires will you use?
I plan on using Conti DWS 06 all seasons. But I'm leaning towards DW summer tires and putting the stock wheels back on in the colder months with the Bridgestone A/S run flats. Not entirely sure yet. I had originally wanted to sell the stock wheels and tires which are essentially brand new and go with the DWS tires to last me 50k miles as opposed to 20k on the DW.
I found out about the Borbet BS4 which looks essentially like a R112, but only comes in 16". I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should go the 16in route.... Such a dilemma, the more I research the less I know what I want!
