Hi all,
I just ordered a Clubman. I am looking to replace the wheels right away. I really like the OEM 17" Webspoke wheel. I had them on my '07 MCS. Will this wheel be too heavy for a non-S? I like the idea of 16's but I really dont like any of the OEM offerings. That leads me to believe I wont like any of the aftermarket choices once they are on the car. (I do like the look of some online)
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

 

You can check the weights of OEM wheels here:

I ended up getting some (17" webspokes). Will i need different lugs or these "hub-centric rings" that i have been reading about? I kinda hoped these would just go on without any other new parts.
(I dont have the car yet....its on order)

 

Wow, surprised to learn that the 17" R111s I've got coming weigh .3 pounds less than the 16" R94s on my current car...

According to the link the web spokes are middle of the road weight-wise among the 17" OEM offerings, and only about 2 pounds more than what I've been running on my Cooper. I figure you'll be fine.

You wouldn't need hub-centric rings for OE wheels.
