 Help choosing new wheels! Hi guys! This is my very first post, so be kind! I'm in the process of looking at new alloys to replace the white s spokes and runflat tyres. I bought my Merlin, an 03 electric blue MCS in June last year, have had so much fun already!  Ive been looking at the Lenso SC 02 in satin white with polished face Any thoughts/opinions on these wheels with regard to colour and how they will look on MINI? Was originlly gonna go for silver but having found these they are just so different. Am i mad going for white wheels again ie, cleaning them ? All opinions/advice welcome Thanks Nel  |

| Thanks for the reply I actually like the JCW R95 and can get a genuine set at a resonable price but there 18" and I want to stick with 17" for ride quality and cost of tyres etc. The OZ ultraleggeras are very nice, lightweight but are out of my price range! More help please! |

| I had JCW R105's, but upgraded to 18" OZ Ultraleggera's and saved over 4kg's per wheel, yes I am that sad. OZ wheels are very expensive, but very well made. Team Dynamics would be a very good choice as well and are made in 17" diameter. p.  |

| Exactly why I wanna ditch the heavy s-spokes and runflats. Hoping to lose around 3-4kg per corner too. Shame I have a fairly small budget, I love the Ultraleggera's! BTW They are gorgeous on your MINI |

| Light wheels, small budget? Then you want either Rotas of TD Pro Race 1.2 Rotas are imported solely by Rare Rims | Rota Wheels UK |

| What about going euro style? I like the Lenso BSX (BBS look a like) available in a few finishes. And the Borbet A's nice as well, although im not sure if this is available for the mini? Some people say it is, but on most websites it doesnt appear to be available in the right offset |
