I have the 2015 Hardtop on order and will be ready soon.
I want to buy custom aftermarket wheels.
I was told the bolt pattern to look for was 5x112 Can anyone verify that for sure?
I'm looking at 17x8 Enkei Pf01's Anyone know if they'll fit?
Looking to run 225/45/R17
Thanks

Thanks:: Would like to see some pics if anyone has done custom wheels.

 

honestly I know of 3 running custom wheels right now, NM Engineering, Duell AG (in Japan) and the ones in the above linked thread. I'm sure there are more but not many have done it yet. I'm itching to switch up my wheels but kind of waiting to sell some $$$ bmw wheels taking up space in my garage first.

 

Because of the unusual wheel specs of the F56 I had a bit of trouble getting after market wheels too. It was more that I wasn't convinced with what the wheel companies were suggesting. So I have ordered a set of Work Wheels - Seeker FX and having them custom made. My new wheels will be 18x7.5 with an offset of +50.
The only problem is I have to wait for them to be made but will be worth it. I can't get the work wheel nuts however as they won't fit so will be having the wheels drilled to fit the MINI nuts.

 

They will only poke 10mm more than stock.

Should have gone 8j wide with a 35 or 40 offset for that kind of wheel!

 

I've a set of Sparco Asieta Garo going on today, which are 16x7 with an ET which should closely approximate the OEM fitment. I found them through Tire Rack.

Will add a picture when I can.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

I didn't want to go to 8 as I was concerned it would be illegal.

 

illegal like get a ticket or illegal like not allowed in an auto cross event?

 

Those are nice wheels Girl from OZ! I wanted to go with the classic look and get 15x8 enkei pf01's but that wont happen with the change. How long did they tell you the wait would be?

 

Yes Charlie...Post the pics! Thanxs

 

See the fitment thread for my car on 18x8 ET45

 

Guy from Americas tire just called.. He said the 2015 MIni Cooper Hardtop was a 5x120 :-/
He said he spoke to someone in managmenet.
I am new to mini's but Ive confimed several tiimes that the 2015 Hardtop was 5x112. Not sure what going on here... ??

 

probably illegal illegal. Australia is crazy strict about that stuff.



I'm holding off on wheels till suspension options become available, but it's getting harder and harder to wait.

 

It is 5x112 - I have 5x112 wheels on my car.

The person claiming that its 5x120 is a moron.

 

Illegal in Australia if they protrude too much. Here's a photo of my wheels. They will take six months to arrive as they have to be made from scratch in Japan.

 

Maybe its just being lost in translation but are you really wanting one-off custom built wheels? You realize you're looking at around $700 per wheel on the cheap side?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using NAMotoring

 

Total cost for the wheels is $2500. I've ordered them and don't have any regrets. I'm happy to pay that amount and wait the six months to get the wheels I want. ��

 

Not a good picture, but just for the moment here are the new wheels (and the two Gollums, nose to nose).

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Does anyone know what is the most aggressive set up the F56 will fit?
Trying to get some wider tires so the car wont look so round yet with skinny tires.

 

Nice Wheels Charlie!

 

Thanks sir - pretty bad-*** for a cute chick's car, right?

 

Can we get a closer up??

 

If thats a chick car, I guess I might need breast augmentation. lol
Nice colors!
