Rota Wheels

anyone needing aftermarket stock wheels (16 by 6.5) can contact Jessi at Rota Wheels. (sales@18racing.com) their website is www.RotaWheels.com and the wheel for the mini is the Slipstream. Click wheel icon on website, go three over from top and four down - their first shipment could well be sold but you can custom order is this true.

anyone wishing to autocross in a STOCK class must match the exact wheel size when buying aftermarket. 16 by 7's won't hack it .. nor will 17 by 7.5.

Thanks for this info! I love the Rota Slipstreams in grey and will get them once I wear my runflats out so I can sell my stock 16" wheels.

Aaron, watch what fits around the Wilwoods. I was going to buy a set of 16x6.5 et45 (the standard autocross legal MINI fitment) and the spokes did not clear the calipers. Even with my 3mm spacer they still rubbed. You would probably need at least a 5mm spacer. But you can order them will different offsets if you are not worried about autocross.
