both are great wheels, but yes ... the R99 does suit your car better

Very nice......I love the grey R99s They're on my shopping list as well as ....

For people who like the R99 design but want something more lightweight, take a look at the Kosei K1-TS in 17x7" (Tire Rack stocks 'em in grey).

Very similar to the R99, MINI-friendly offset (ET42), 8 lbs per rim lighter than the R99 (only 14.1 lbs !!!) and a steal at $199 each.

I really wish MINI made these r99s in 16 in. Actually, I wish they made any of their 16 in. rims in anthracite/grey.

mb

Edit: do the 16 in. r90s come in anthracite?
