need alloys for my dark silver MCS

hey guys just need some advice on alloys.

im looking for 18" black alloys with polished lip. do you think my dark silver MCS will suit this?

also, what other sizes do i need to look out for like PCD, offset etc and tire sizes?

i quite like the look of this:

They are really nice but they are 5 stud and are made by team dynamics called mesh III black, I know they dont do them in 4 stud

I am in the same situation and the closest I have found that fit is the dare xt which come in 18" would look sick!

In many cases the chosen wheel is the team dynamics pro race 1.2 which is a light weight wheel

The dare alloys fit the mini and can be purchased many places online and other places too, both alloys shown fit the mini

The dare XT should cost between £250 - £400 depending on size 17" seen on ebay for £259

cool i think these in 18" will be my next mod. can the centre caps be changed on these alloys? i'll prob have to lower the car though will 18's on it.
what size pcd, offset etc should i get?
I'm hoping to get goodyear eagle F1's on them if its's not too expensive!
any other black alloy polished rim suggestions?

cheers

Center caps can be changed, I think the offset you want 100 * 4 PCD offset 38 (i think) a quick search will find this
