Sparco Assetto Gara
A HUGE thanks to Alex @ Tire Rack. One week from phone call to delivery in Germany!

Winston is now sitting pretty on 17x7 Sparco Assetto Gara, wrapped in 215/45ZR17 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Sorry for cell phone pics, but I was excited to show 'em off!!!

Oh yeah, that's definitely in the future! Wheel gap sucks. Saving up $ and working on the confidence to DIY install.

Nice wheels ibmiked. Almost bought those. Went with Enkei Imolas 17x7.5 with 205-45/17 Conti-ExtremeContact DW. Looking for coilovers next.

Looks great! My two choices were your wheels and my Sparcos too! For some reason the Enkeis were more to ship for me. Diferent distro centers or something. Based on (-)2 lbs weight difference and additional shipping costs, I went with Sparco instead. So far very happy with them, but your Imolas look really good!

After much deliberation, I decided to go with JCW R105 - got a great deal on 'em and they are an official MINI wheel. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. These are from the day they were mounted.
