Sweetest Wheels
What do you guys think are the sweetest wheels for the MINI right now?

What was Alex referring to? the offset?
Whatever offset johnD is running looks perfect to me.

The CVs will definitely fit. I'm running BBS RXs and they have a lower offset with no issues (on stock MC). See gallery for photos.

BOOO! tirerack doesn't carry them (or maybe i thought they did) any
more in our size.
this is wat i was referring to... these would look
killer at 17x7.5 +43mm offset running 215/45s..

If you're going big the Hammans if you're going small the Konigs.
You need to hire an armed guard if you put Hammans on though.

I am running Volk CE28N Bronze on my Subaru WRX and I love the wheel. My wife is wanted a Mini CooperS and I saw the Gram Light 57S which is made by Volk I have not read up on the Gram Light brand I guess they are still Forged wheels like the Volks. I just wanted know if any of you are running these wheel and how you like them. The size I was looking at was 17x7.5[FONT=Arial][/FONT]

17x7.5 ET38 is agressive for Mini.

Cv's
Do CVs come in 17s or just 18s? Do you think I'd have to Dremel down the plastic trim to get them to fit. Thanks in advance!

Are you lowered? If so you may need to trim or do some "self-clearancing"
