They're either BBS RK or RK II wheels. Looks like they may be two piece wheelsso then they'd be RK II's. I'm planning to get the RKs; 17" are only 16 lbs.

I'm pretty sure they're RKIIs in 17"...

On a slightly related note my BBS RG-R's came in this week... (17x7 ET38)

BBS RG-R's

M3NTAL Kev,
Love the RG-R's. How much do they weigh? Are they forged or pressure cast? Will they work with the 17" run flats currently on my MCS? If they do, where can I get them?
Anyone else know a source for BBS wheels?

'03 CR MCS aero, black leather, sport, premium, cold packages, Alta intake, pulley + rear sway, Evo ecu, Miltek header + exhaust, Rouge ss, Pilo coil pack, Kingsbourne wires + Denso plugs

I'm going to stick with either the factory size 205/45/17 or go a little undersized with 205/40/17.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the 205/45/17s since I already have another toy to screw around with.

I'm currently considering the Yokohama Parada Spec-2 or Yokohama AVS ES100... but with the undersize, there is way more selection.

I'll be sure to post picks once they're installed but that won't be until April unless the snow disappears before that.

piaa721,
check 'da' faq at the top of this forum...
205/40/17 is *just* within the +/- 3% range - the overall dia is almost exactly the same as a 195/55/15 (so not really sure you'd want to spend all that money to get to a 15in wheel dia)....


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.

These are the RKII's 17" on a digi-tec MCS with KW suspension kit. I wanted to get those wheels, but they are no longer manufactured for the MINI by BBS
