It seems like silver is the way to go , would you go 17" or 18". OEM or after market?? Thanks for all your help!

it seems like if you want performance 17s are the way to go, but 18s fit the gen II pretty well also.

I'm likely to be on the restrained/practical end of the advice.
17s are going to give you more handling performance than the OE 16s. The tires will also be more expensive, and will probably will wear out faster (as they will likely be more on the sticky end of the spectrum). You'll also notice a drop in fuel economy, and almost certainly a degradation of ride quality.
I would expect that 18s would be even farther in the ...negative...direction in all of those areas than 17s. The possible upside is the style, if you find a wheel that really floats your boat. Both will be prone to damage from curbs and potholes, so take that into consideration depending on where you live.
I'm sure that you can find more pros and cons over in the tire/wheel section of the forum; none of that information or opinion is necessarily specific to the coupes vs Clubmans vs convertibles.
HTH.

It was a film that was used to protect the headlights, I've taken it off since the picture was taken. I just couldn't get it to lay flat without wrinkles.

Any R90 photos? I like the 16's R90 (I don't like how at 17 they start using two-piece)

since most cars use black steel rims for snow tires, I just put a different spin on it.
I also went for the crown spokes as I wanted less crevices for ice/snow to get into.

Love the wheels, Love the car! where did you get them from? Does the wheel come right to the edge of the body and do you have any rubbing issues?
