Sparco drifts look good and price is nice but they weigh like 20 pounds each, if weight is not an issue go for them.

Mind you, 20lbs is not super heavy. You'll still be losing 2-4 lbs per corner from OE wheels. And if you want wheels much lighter than 20lbs you are going to struggle to get quality and not pay the OZ Allegerita price.

What is the right offset for the widest stance on 17"s? I have an 08 MCS. I was thinking 43.

Tanks AXO.......

I'm running 17x7s ar ET 40. I've had no problem with rubbing the outside on stock height. But that's not anywhere near as wide as you can go. If you want to explore wide wheels check out motoringunderground.com they love stancing MINIs.

Very nice, I want to get my door handles, side scuttles etc. done but I don't want to have to send him pieces and I live on the other side of the country, looks like he does amazing work however.
