I need new wheels for my MCS. It's Electic Blue with white roofs, stripes and mirrors. So I was thinking white 17" or 18" wheels. I've got a couple of ideas, but am looking for some feedback and maybe a few more wheels to choose from.
Here's the car (sorry for the crappy picture, but I don't own a digital camera (yeah, I'm not kidding).


The OZ Super Turismo



Kosei K1-TS 17

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2

 

Weds wheels TC 005

Kosei K-1's

O.Z Superleggera


Prodrive P1's


Any pros cons 17" vs 18" to be aware of?
Also tires, can anyone recommend a good one, the run flats I've got on now, aren't really that great.

 

 

Felix, what wheel is that, OZ Superleggera?

 

dzy,

Stick with the 17's as the 18's will make the car ride pretty rough and choppy. Also, put some Goodyear F1's on them and the ride will be much nicer than with runflat tires.

Lastly, I like the look of the new OZ Ultraleggeras in graphite finish. Here is a link for them.

Yup, like the RT12 wheels but without the rivets.
Get them in 18"

 

Regarding ride quality, I've got Koni's on my car so I'm used to the bumpy rides. I saw a Works GT today at the dealer and 18" doesn't look too big on it. I adjusted my Koni's to the hardest setting just to get a feel of how it would be with bigger wheels and it wasn't half bad.

 

+1...they are great on it!

 

I have white 17" Volk Racing TE-37 wheels on my MCS. They are strong and light wheels.

I'd get a set of BBS wheels [CH, LM, RC, etc...]

 

I vote Weds TC005 or OZ superleggera.

 

Kosei K1-18" though, greatwheels - very light but i abused them. my mini is lowered 1.5 inches so only low profile tyres. 17" offer more tyre selection. white would be great on your car. K-1 or prodrive imho.

Nice mini - great mini with new wheels. ck out northamericanmotoring.com marketplace under wheels the may have just whay you want

Team Dynamics and Kosei are more budget wheels, if $$ is not a your concern, SSR Type C looks best IMO.

 

Thanks Stuttgart, but I already bought some wheels for the car. OZ Superlegerra (or if it's ultraleggera) F1 edition yada yada. I posted pictures in another thread, but I'll post here as well as soon as I get the chance.

 

Great wheels and very lightweight too.
Post some pics when you get a chance.
