Hi all. I'm considering upgrading the stock 17" wheels on my 2006 MCS. I want black or black/red wheels that are direct bolt ons. I don't want to use spacers or damage the wheel wells. Hopefully a set that are lighter than the stock wheels. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any insightful replies.

 

Checkout Tirerack.com to look at these options:
Enkei RPF1 is light.
Motegi MR116 and MG132 are a little heavier but have red stripe.

 

Flat and gloss black are available in Team Dynamics line which are 17.6 pounds each.

Great looking wheel. Thanks.

 

I run 17" Enkei RPF1's! They are fantastic and light.

 

The Enkei's are nice but I like the look of the team dynamics wheel better and a couple of OZ wheels from TireRack.com. Are the team dynamic wheels a direct bolt on with no other modifications, spacers etc.? Some of the wheels on TireRack have a note that says "may need modification to the rear wheel well lining" which I do not want to.

Again, thanks for the input and suggestions. Stay safe out there.

 

I think it means if you lower too much you may need to shave or cut the fender liner.

 

Take a look at the Enkei PF01; comes in Black and Silver.

I have Black with 38mm offset.

Looks great and they are lightweight too.

 

Depends on the kind of look you're looking for. Do you want a fat/low look or a more "athletic" bigger wheel with more accent on the wheel spokes. Amazing how wheels can completely change the look of these little cars. I've had so many different looks on the 4 Minis I've owned. I'd suggest looking at the pictures on some of the threads here to see what you want to achieve. I've had the Enkei's and Breytons plus just about every stock wheel. I've powdercoated all the wheels I've owned black at 70% and they have turned out very good.
