non-tuner wheels
Anybody have non tuner type wheels? pics? Just ordered a pw/b mcs and looking for wheels, can't seem to find many that are not of a tuner type

I'm wondering that too? The opposite of Tuner would be what - OEM?

So basicly a plain old, one piece, non-showey wheel?
Have you checked the MINI catalog? There are a number of fairly standard looking 15, 16 and 17 inch offereings that don't look too racey. If you don't like any of those, get whatever free wheels that come with the car and seek somthing out through
www.tirerack.com or some other vendor.
Heck, I know there are some flat black 4-lug 4x100 steelies out there (plain steel wheels with simple holes for cooloing only)! There about as "anti-tuner" as you can get!

hmm not quite, I had some KMC Units on another car that I loved, they no longer make them and I don't think they would fit, just wondering if anyone has done any wheels like that

For a semi-bling bling, sporty, clean looking wheel... I like these:
Depending on the color of the car, I think they'd look pretty hot... and the price ($400 for the set) looks pretty good, too:

(and no, it's not my auction, nor do I know the lister... I just thought they might be along the "clean/cool" lines of what chxpla2 was looking for)
