Which MINI supplied wheels are best in terms of weight? I liked the look of my S-Lites but you guys love pointing out they're very heavy and don't supply good cooling to the brakes. Which 17 or 18" MINI wheel is best? I am also interested in how to improve the ride of an MCS. S-Lites mated to Pirelli runflats on the MCS sports suspension did not give the most comfortable ride...</p> yes please discuss wheels. Which MINI supplied wheels are best in terms of weight?

Great advice, coming from experienced proud Mini motoring owners. I liked the Garage Day suggestion and I'll be ordering a Bentley's Manual, ASAP. Great show(s), trust your opiniions & enjoy your camaraderie. Regular listener for a while, enjoy your ideas on improving performace, ie. brakes, cold air intake, ipod entertainment, servicing, etc. (experience counts, issues dealt on balance with pros/cons, options offered)</p> <p>As a newbie, always ready and interested in learning more about the Mini and about good aftermarket wheels. We have 16" Dunlop RF's and a spare in our Mini Cooper. Thinking of maybe going to The Dragon this year. Considering getting new 17" wheels with maybe something like Goodyear Eagle F1's. Suggestions? Lessons learned?</p> <p>Would appreciate a session addressing aftermarket wheels. How do you determine who makes good wheels? Is price always in correlation to quality? versus limited production quantitities. (Many wheel shops bad mouth BMW/Mini that their wheels are way over priced and offer low value compared to aftermarket products. More than half the MSRP is for the name alone, they say.) Newbies need big help; spring is coming around the corner. Thanks.</p> Great Show, Great format. Great advice, coming from experienced proud Mini motoring owners.
