It's somewhat difficult to get a true feel for the wheels cuz the pics are so small (not your fault, I know) but based on those shots, I'd say the wheel on the left would be my choice. I think I've seen a wheel similar in style to that on the right, but only on SUVs...so that rules it out for the MINI in my mind!

The arospeed RSGT's are awesome. But arospeed no longer make that model so id assume ur buying a second hand set? they have brought out a newer model that is very similar to the RSGT's though.

Like the black ones myself! Would look ace on a black MINI.

I wouldn't go for the 19" as they would tramline like anything!

The Left Side

Very nice as I prefer a wider spoke. Easier to clean, etc. If you paint your calipers they really show through also.

Silly I know .......

Smile Decisions Decisions!

Hi Sarah

I think it really is personal preference, everyone will tell you something different!

One thing I would say though is that the 19"s will probably look like overkill, go with an 18" wheel.

Let us all know what you decide, if you decide at all!!!

I like the E Racers

They'd look nice against a Chill red paint job...

They both look great so you can't lose. 19" sounds a bit extreme for a Mini though.
RS-GT just get the vote from me.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs
