I went to the jlb website, and realize there are several choices available..would 16x7 4x100, 40mm offset, 56.1mm bore be the right size for a mini s? sorry abou the noob question, i'm just sorta ignorant when it comes to wheels.
thanks Rally,,..what's the bore size? is 56.1 the only sisze i can use? i looked at some of the other wheels like konig, but the bore size is 73.1...and the rota boos and rota grid are 67.1...do this means that they wont work for the mini? thanks again

You can get the larger size bores, just make sure that you get a hub-centric ring adapter for a nice fit on your hub.
brown boy: will that normally be included when you prurchase the wheels or it's extra? if so whats the price range normally?...thanks for everyones help again...btw when i asked what;s the bore size, i meant litereally what is it? after reading your reply i'm asumming it's has to do with the centering/balancing of the wheel itself?

Our hub size is 56.1mm. Largere ones can be accomodated with hubcentric rings. These are not included when wheels are purchased. They usually run $15 or so I think.
The hub bore is a hole found at the center of the wheel, it mates with the wheel hub on the car and centers the wheel for when you go to torque down the lugs.

Rota's are often lighter than most stock wheels. They're generally a pretty light wheel for their size.
My 16" Rota RB's are a hair over 16lbs (quite lightweight) and they're available, at least in the 16's, with the factory centerbore 56.1. They're an absolutely perfect fit for the R56 right down to the tire pressure sender being swapped over.
I picked up mine from 18 Racing and I believe I got some sort of PS Mini or NAM club discount as well
They were really quite cheap and many people mistake them for an oem wheel.

I didn't realize they gave a NAM discount? Can you elaborate?

I just told them which clubs I was a member of when I called to order & asked if they had any discounts. The price I got was better than their list. Generally speaking that approach tends to work out for the better with most vendors. I had an accounting professor that always ranted about never paying list price and that you (he) could get a discount anywhere just by asking for it.

They are 16". For me, the smaller wheel is a tip of the hat to the original MINI look.
Ya if the wheel wells were smaller I would totally agree. But they are too big so it just to me does not look right. But right now I am considering white rims also.
Only downfall is with MINI brakes they are a major league PITA to keep clean, my wife has white wheels.
