17 or 18" Drag Rims

OK- last post edited.

Looks like the Drag rims are ok in both 17x7 and 18x7 sizes
4x100 bolt pattern
73mm centerbore (hubrings recommended to fit 56.1mm MINI hub)
+40mm offset (will fit stock MINI suspension but might not do as well with a lowered MINI- likely some rubbing in the rear wheel wells).

Not sure of the weight. Doesn't look too light.
$450 a set of 4 in 17x7 and $540 a set in 18x7 plus shipping $70.
Comes in Black, gun metal or silver finishes.

You are correct those are the wheels I was looking at. only in 17x7 will 40 offset be ok?

See post #2 in this thread.

+40 offset is OK with stock suspension in either MC or MCS.
Use stock tire 205/45-17 for best clearance.
Optionally you can also consider 215/40-17 (slightly smaller outer tire diameter than stock) or 215/45-17 (slighter larger than stock).

Once you lower your MINI you will have less clearance in the wheel wells and some trimming with a dremmel tool might be needed when using 215/45-17 tires.
