I like the look of X-lite Alloys in white. What would a good price be to pay for a set of these with tyres ?

Also would they look good on an Astro Black One ?

Hi.

My brother had 15" rockets on his ONE D up until a few weeks ago, so I reckon I can give you some help here...

For the best compromise between looks and handling I'd say go for 17" wheels.

My brother got a set of four 17" Bullet wheels for £620 of E-Bay. The wheels and tyres were brand new as the guy selling them had swapped for 18" JCW's before he drove away from the dealer. Not a scratch on them and the tyres still had their paint spots on them (the runflats alone retail @ £135 EACH!!).

The Bullet wheels retail in the region of £1250 from MINI depending on the runflats they fit.

So I would no more than £650 for brand new wheels + tyres and between £500 - £550 with minor kerbing + used tyres.

James.
