Help -- New Alloys

[Bunsen]

Afternoon everyone,

just bought my first Cooper S (05 plate), one problem I'm not to keen on the Alloys (16" X-Lite - http://www.mini2.com/galleries/data/572/R91.jpg) but the car had everything else I wanted and such a good price couldn't say no to it.

I'm looking to get a set of 16" S Spoke Alloys (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1179/...628464.jpg?v=0)

I have looked on Ebay and the Classifieds on this site and can't seem to find them, anyone know of a good place I could get them from.

Thanks.

They are 17" wheels... They appear on ebay and here quite often... Just keep your eyes on all the classified areas...

Thanks

should get 18's on it! :P

After doing a bit of looking around I have now decided to go with 17's and have narrowed it down to either one of these 2:

with putting 17's from 16's will the car look to high will I need to Lower it at all?

[M.O.S]

As its an r53 it won't need lowering But it can be lowered

The ride height won't really change - the rolling diameter of the wheel/tyre will be nearly identical (it has to be to ensure speedo accuracy )
