I was actually thinkin about backin down an inch and gettin 16's. Just depends on how many horror stories I hear about rubbing. Haven't really looked into the weight of the wheels. Tuning a car from scratch is all pretty new to me. The Mini already had everything you could wish for on it. Damn I miss that car.

I am not a mini fan. Way too Euro for me. I say 16 is the bigegst anyone should go on this car. I think that would be a nice choice. You can still run 205/50 on those. Have a sporty look and not sacrifice a soft ride but have more tire on the road. In my opinion it would still be an upgrade however 17's would be strictly looks on this car. I have heard of rubbing in hard turns but some say no problems. Go with the 16's please.

Do some research on the lightest wheels and buy it.
The lighest the more $ or harder to find, so find wat fits ur budget..
