Okay, I have done more research on this subject than I care to admit. I know all my tire spec's, all my wheel spec's, I even know which tires and wheels I want. to get.
Wheels = OZ Crono Evolution 17"
Tires = Yoko Prada 2
My only hesitation (aside from price) is the offset on the OZ's, it is 32mm. This will mount the combo a 1/2" further out than the current S'Lites that I have on my S.
Does anyone on MCO run with a 32mm offset wheel, doesn't really matter which wheel and tire combo you have, it doesn't have to match mine either. I just want to know if anyone is running a 32mm offset on a Cooper S and if they have had any, and I mean any problems with the offset being an additional 1/2" out than the regular set up.
Thanks! anynullany

We have a 02 S with E37 Superleggera. Sits out flush with outside of fender moulding. Sharp, but aggressive stance!

Alex, that's what I want an aggressive stance, it will help tone down its 'cute' profile and give it a bit more of a serious appearance. Can you ask the person at Tire Rack who drives that 02 S with the Super Lagaras if he has experianced and rubbing?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hank,
Theres also a set of the Crono Evos for sale here on MCO, but they have the Bridgestone Potenza S-03's for rubber (and that's not a bad thing) But I'm running the Parada Spec 2's as you may know...nice tire BTW, looks cool as well.

Thanks ofr the address on those OZ Crono's. I found the write up on the S03 tires very intersting as well. I am now set on the OZ Crono wheels and think the used set for sale is not a bad asking price. The S03's rank very, very high on the Tire Rack's site, customer reviews seemed to be a bit mixed, but overall response is extremely high.
