BBS RK or RK II's

WHich do you think would be better the one piece RK's or the two piece RK II's?

Maybe the two piece could be seperated and the centers painted?

Any weights on 17x7 of each?

RK is 17.5 lbs each et 42 ofsset - they are ideal.

RKII is not listed by Tirerack for Mini. If you've seen them on, its a Miata fitment its an et35 - very agressive and its typically heavier as well due to all the fasterners.

The RKII is not designed to be disassembled - its put together with locktite, and welded on the barrel seam. Very diffrent form the BBS race program from the 80's that sealed with rubber O rings, and were designed to come apart. Johnny 5 NOT disassemble.
