Have you seen R90 16" and your opinion?
I've ordered a cr/w MCS and have an initial spec in with standard wheels.
I like the look of the R90's... the 17's are expensive... and I am on the fence as to which size wheel (any wheel) looks better, 16's or 17's, considering the size of a Mini...
The 16" R90 may be easier to clean without the capnut effect around the rim and they are lighter. 16" R90's have much of the appeal of the 17" version in the MiniUSA configurator... but in real life, is the 16" well finished and does it... wellll... look good.
Spec is CR/W, Black Vinyl seats, chrome interior, CR dash, MFSW, LSD, Cold package, White factory bonnet strips, Chrono, sunroof. I've kept to a budget but planned on different wheels down the road... but the 16" R90's might keep me happy for much longer (quite possibly for as long as I own the car) than the stockers... although the stocker (alloy finish) x-lites are somewhat OK, for me.
Any experience, sightings, and/or opinions are appreciated

I love my 16" R90s however they are indeed a pain to clean. But.....I DID apply 4 or 5 coats of Zaino prior to mounting the tires which has made the chore a lot more easy. Here are some pictures:
