I'm planning to purchase a set of wheels for my 2003 MINI Cooper S, dark grey and black roof. So I desperately need advice, I like the 18"OZ Superturismo GT or 18"OZ Ultraleggera. Which wheels would you suggest and why?

Thanks a ton for all your help in advance

My new rims purchased today (only 400 bucks out the door!)

17 inch "Hot Wheels" Redline

Thought these were appropriate for my little toy :

Ever scrape the front? Whats the distance between the lip and the ground.

Reason for questions...I have the same wheels and I want to drop them on the same springs but I have a front lip on my car. Thanks!!

I've scraped only a few times...it's about a 6 inch gap to the front of the aero bumper. Here's some more pics...

They are 205/50-16 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1. The setup weighs 35.5 lbs per corner. The setup I took off weighed 47 lbs per corner.
