I just recently just purchased a used 2013 JCW (see pic below). I am in the market for some wheels. As everyone is aware, the stock wheels are 17x7 running a 205/45/17. Given the power of the JCW, I think it could run a wider tire and a wider wheel would make it look a lot better. 205s are just too narrow. And I plan to step up to 215/45/17.
So in my search, the criteria were at least a 7.5" wide and also lighter (I believe the stock wheels I am running comes in 24 pounds.) and also must clear the JCW brakes without any spacers and being hub-centric would be nice.
I narrowed it down to 2 wheels: the NM RSe05 & Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 (see pics below). Both these wheels fit all my criteria.
Out Motoring had the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 on sale over black Friday and I called to see if they had them in stock and was told they would check and call me back but I never heard from them. Fine! I will spend my money elsewhere.
I have decided to with the NM RSe05. And now color, what color should I get? I am tempted to go red. Does any have my car and running red wheels?
Also, are there any other wheels I should consider? There are not too many wheels in 4x100.
TIA

Funny, this guy is local to me but his wheels are gold and would not look good on a white/silver mini with red roof. Anyway I really want these wheels ... BBS RF Forged but a bit too rich for my blood.
