I need to buy a new pair of wheels for my Electric Blue Mini Cooper S. I'm using my old ones for my winter tires. I rather like the current white wheels so new white wheels would be nice. I'm leaning towards 17", but I need suggestions to what wheels I should buy. I'm open to all ideas, so bring them on!
I think the white looks good on your car. I would try to find a wheel with more openess, so you can see more brake disc, then paint your calipers a color that jumps out at you. The most obvious is orange, but red, green blue, or maybe even gold or black would work, too. Go down a few posts and you can see a pic of Octane Guys Mini which is indigo blue, white wheels, red calipers.

Yeah, you can't tell by the picture, but I've got the white stripes on my car as well. First step is new wheels and I'm clueless to what I should buy. I'm too busy nowadays to just browse all the different sites and trying to find a wheel that I like. So if any of you guys have any leads on what wheels that might look good, please share.
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's look really good in white, they're light weight and not as "spokey" at the OZ Superturismo WRC's...I have a silver roof otherwise I would go the TD route myself.
I'm not a fan of the ricer look. The problem is the color of my car. The only color that'll look good is white. So I have to go with the rally look. The Superleggera's can be a hassle to get ahold of. Regarding the weds, I'd like to have a different look on my new wheels compared to my winter wheels. What are the disadvantages of running 18"'s?
They might look a little ridicoulus on such a small car, but I don't really know. Keep the suggestions coming, I'm still not set on what to buy. By the way, thank you all for helping me out, I'm starting to like this forum a lot.
World One has some sets of white Prodrive P1's available. We just mounted a set on our Cabrio last weekend. As soon as we get an overcast day, I'll take more pics and post them (the wheels are too bright for proper exposure in bright light).
we put 205/45/17 Avon M550 allseason tires on. Very competent, OE size, and affordable. Tire Rack has them. If you want summer only tires, you probably should look at 215/45/17 as that's alot more common.
