Thanks bud! I dont know. This picture now makes me think I want 17's. Centerline RPM's anyone!?

 

personally i find that wheels with more spokes look better on a Cooper. Mainly because our brake rotors are so smallish.
On the other hand, if your ride had a BBK, then that's another story.

For my Dark Silver MCS, I like the Gram lights in 16's

Ideally, I would get Kosei K1's, but cant seem to find them...
