Alex:

I just placed an order for my '04 MCS yesterday. In the showroom was a demo with 17" BBS RDs. I loved the look so much that I decided I must have them for my car. When I got home I've slowly come to discover that they may not be the right offset for the mini.

Equally interesting are the 17" BBS RVs that are used on the Grassroots Motorsport's MCS. I know that they're forged, but I don't know the offset, etc.

I turn to you for your insight and information: do either make the grade?

PS: Yesterday, I emailed part of this message to your work address. I tell you this as I don't want you to mistakenly answer the same questions twice!

RD is 17x7 et 38, and is a great fit. I dont have an RV that I can guarantee to fit.Rv is also discontinued in all sizes I used to handle.

Thanks Alex. Does Tire Rack carry the RD in 17 x 7 for this application? What's the price?

Sorry, one more question. Do you have the wheel weight for the RD in 17 x 7?
