Yes. Don't worry, there's room for it.

What color wheels do you think looks best (or worst) on a PW/PW? Polished, plain silver, steel grey, or gunmetal.
Silver, but that's just my preference. Go with what you like.

1. What's shipping to 49441 per wheel?
Please add them to your shopping cart on the site, and it will tell you.

Quote:
2. Are they 4X100, 12mm lug holes, w/56.1 hub?
4x100, 14mm lug holes (so they'll work on any MINI), 56.1 hub.
Quote:
3. Are they available and shipping estimate in days to the Midwest?
Yes. Figure three days for shipping.

Quote:
5. Any pictures of this color of wheel on a MINI?
User Linkedup has 'em!




I do too, in 17:



I'm sure there's lots more pics around, but that's just what I could quickly come up with...

Thanks

Thanks for answering all my questions so fast. Since my Mini is set up for 12mm bolts and wheels have 14mm holes, how does that work (tuner bolts)? What size tire would you put on the 17X7.5 (215X45-17)?

Some people say that I will never get the money out of my MINI that I have put into it. I say, "I get my money's worth everytime I hit the ignition button".

Uh...12mm bolts will fit in 14mm holes...

Most of our 17" wheels will fit, but the RB will not -- it needs a 6mm spacer in front. D2 also will not fit.

Rota doesn't make many in white these days. There are very few in the stock listing for white that'll fit your car.

This is one that's available. 16x7.

5mm Wheel Spacers.

Hello Mach V Dan.

Looking for some high quality 5 mm wheel spacers with longer bolts in color black -like the OE bolts- for my 2009 Cooper S.

Hi Dan,

I bought a set of the Rota Torque wheels from you a while ago. Do you know if these will work if i upgrade to the JCW brakes and / or the Stoptech BBK? My car is a 2003 MCS, and the wheels were 17 X 7.5".

The photos confuse me. While the spacers on the LH have a centering ring the ones on the RH do not which makes me think that those are the 3 mm "wafers".

Which is which on that page and are the bolts 5 mm longer AND black? Sorry for insisting.

Sorry, I don't have any, but search around this site. I think I've seen at least one Horizon Blue car with them.

RB 16X7 in Silver, when will they be in?

Rota warehouse is out of RB 16X7 (40 ET, 4X100, 56.1) in Silver. Any idea when Rota will be restocking its warehouse with this wheel? (Seems like a very popular wheel).

You're talking about the Rota RB? Yes, they'll fit, and yes, they're in stock.

Yes RB, sorry.. I think I am going to go 16" as long as I'm doing it, plus they fit as a bonus. What size tires on the 16" and are they in stock? Probably the gunmetal.

You could do stock tire size (195/55R16), or 205/50R16.

Gunmetal is in stock.
