Here's my 2011 Eclipse Grey MCSa, bone stock at the moment but getting new wheels this week!
Congrats on the new ride. Just in case you haven't considered getting rid of the RF tires, my local Discount Tire credited me $50 for each of those nasty things. Bought new 205/50 16's summer Conti DW's from them to mount on my 2011 MCS's new Rota RB's. Love them. Keeping the stock rims in case they're needed for Winter tires. Be sure and post pix of your new rims
Fell in love with these wheels and was finally able to grab a set and throw them on! Pictures are from Skyline drive in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia.
jarelj... what are you going to do with the old wheels?
I guess I'll just keep them with the all-season RF's to use in the winter.... I like the way they look with the blacked-out thing, but the new wheels I got are silver, so will change the look of the car quite a bit. The new ones are TSW Thunder rims and Hankook V12 tires, 18". A friend of mine had them on a past MINI, and had them sitting in the garage looking for a new home.

Just got my new autocross wheels in and wanted to post some pics.
Wheels are TR Motorsports C1 16x6.5 off set 45mm so they will keep me in the stock class. Best of all they are only 14lbs each! Tires are 205/50 R16. Everything fits perfectly, no rubbing and the wheels clear the brakes for anyone who is interested. I had not seen this setup done yet but at $114 each I thought it was worth a shot.
