Smurfette needs new summer shoes and the wife has never liked these factory wheels. Please post recommendations in photo form. Her winters are plastidipped in vintage gold and we both like them so maybe a muted gold or bronze. (Exact winter wheel and similar finish below)

Size should be 16" or 17" to clear the brakes and still have enough sidewall to handle potholes.

I personally would go with one of these

She likes the bottom ones, do you know what they are?

I really like the look of Sparco Asseto Garas on Minis. I would love to get a set for mine.

RPF1s are always the answer.

Unfortunately no. Just a Google image result that I thought looked really good. There is something similar by BBS (STR 601 or something like that)

Probably too similar to the stock wheels she doesn’t like...

The other nice thing about those is they are light, inexpensive and come in a few different colors. I have a set for my volvo. The 17's weigh 19 lbs each vs the stock 26.

They are a really good value.

I also like Sparco Terras

Go to www.tirerack.com punch in your make and model and they’ll have a ton of options that will fit. They also show you a picture of them on your car.

Those would look so good in white on her mini.

I love Terras, and they’re pretty reasonably priced (~$126 apiece on Tire Rack)
