I have an 08 MCS arriving at the end of the month. It looks like this.



I like the way my old wheels look better than the standard 16s on the MCS. They appear to be in good shape.



Would there be issues I haven't thought of, other than the PITA to switch wheels/tires?

Warranty? Would I lose it somehow? Are the new wheels better performing or "engineered" to work with the suspension somehow?

I guess the other issue is that I'd have to wait to sell my old car until after the new one arrives and I've switched wheels... sort of a logistical pain.

 

I agree about the looks of your new 16's. Unfortunately your old 16's probably won't fit over the MCS front brakes (same size as JCW brakes). I would have chosen the 16" Bridgespokes -- maybe your dealer might be willing to swap yours out with another new car in their lot.

 

I didn't want to spend money on wheels, and I did like the look of those better than the other standard MCS option.

 

Did you know that they make a 17 inch 5 star for the Clubman?

Instad of trying to re-use your old rims, I would ask them to order you a set of 5 star rimfs for the Clubman and bolt them on your Cooper S
