Wheels or aero kit

Hi Everyone, i need some help i got a bit of money to spend on my car and cant decide whether to go for jcw r105's or the jcw aero kit (which i havent yet seen in BRG). Anyone got a pic of these wheels on a cooper without the bodykit, im worried they might look to big on the car. I have included a pic of my car for any suggestions.

Personally I would go for the JCW Aero for now, simply because you allready have 17" rims. Then when you have abit more money upgrade to the 18's at a later date.

With both it would look

I'd vote for the Aero Kit because you've got new wheels with lots of tread on, why not use them? With winter coming up I wouldn't advise 18's anyway (salt can do terrible things).

Maybe in 6 to 9 months if you want to spend more, go with some bigger wheels, but definitely get the kit now, it's what I'm doing too!
