Was gonna paint my S spoke wheels black soon but they very damaged. Thinking I may get new alloys instead. What looks good on an r53? Was looking at some team dynamics. I have abiut 300€ and preferably 17 inch.

Team Dynamics are a very good wheel , made in UK and reasonably light which is important , watch out for buckled secondhand ones which appear for sale sometimes , always have a tyre shop run any prospective purchases on their balancing machine to check for 'wobbles' if possible .

Dad was in London today and sent through an r53 Gp with rota Blitz alloys on. Must say It looked beautiful. May go for them if I can find a decent set
Can anyone tell me the width of the stock 17 inch cooper s wheel, wondering if my tires would fit on a new set of 17 inch rotas

Rotas are really light , I had a few sets of 18" Subzero's on the Clubman . 'S' spokes are 7x17 .
