Where to find high-res photos of every current OEM wheel?

I was wondering where, aside from miniusa.com's builder, can I find photos of the OEM wheels available? I have the accessory guide that has nice photos, but I'd like to browse them on the computer... I've tried some dealer websites (accessory sites) but usually there's only about one or two to see.

Thank you!

Yeah, I'd say they are Heavy. My previous car had 18 inchers, forged aluminum, weighing 18 pounds. But hey, that's ok...

In the 16" range, for summer, I'm liking the R90 cross-spoke's I think...

Some much worse than others. A few are absolute boat anchors. Lots of unsprung weight is NOT a good thing, especially for anyone sticking with runflats. Completely ruins ride AND handling.

I'm running 16" sub-15 lb Konig Feathers with winter tires. Over the 17" 22lb Flames, I can notice a massive difference in acceleration.

I wish the winter tires hooked up better because my MCS will spin the tires in 4th gear with these tires.
