looking for 17s, would be silver
not fussed about style, quite like chunky spokes, was thinking bout Mini Bullet ones, but looking at other makes aswell.

i prefer the bullet ones to 's' spokes

will most likely end up with bullet ones, just cannae seem to find any other makes i really like or that will suit the mini

I say stick to MINI wheels.

The 17s on the R56 JCW look great. Not sure if they are for general sale though.

R90, R99, R105s, all look awesome in my book.

I also like S spokes, but then I took them straight off my car and fitted R90s (back in the day!).

I know you said silver, but on your car (black from memory?) gunmetal alloys would look awesome.

The r105s - did someone not get the spokes part black on the inside? Or was that a standard option?

Neither of them come in Anthracite from memory, the R99 do. Silver and Black is a good combo though
