Konig Sideways or Trouble?

For weight and bang-for-your-buck, I'm looking at these two wheels for a B/B MCS.
I like the polished lip of the Sideways, but the graphite color of the Trouble matches my Anthracite interior.
Can you guys help me decide?

I love the look of the sideways... But I was on Konigs website the other day and those rims are not shown as an option for the mini...

Just bought the Konig Sideways from www.buywheelstoday.com for $140.00 each.
I had them double-check the fitment and there will be not problem. They are 17x7 with a +40mm offset. I couldn't get and exact weight, but I was told they are definately lighter than the OEM 17" cabrio wheels I have now.

sideways
troubles


I like the effect of the sideways, it's just all the little chrome bolts/bits that make it look 'too busy' imho... I do like the troubles tho... they were one of my top 2 when it came time for me to choose new wheels.
