Newbie wheels question
Hi Everyone! I'm a happy owner of a 2013 Cooper S hardtop that I enjoy driving; I tend to find excuses to drive which is something I never did before. I have a question about after market wheels I'm interested in purchasing. I have the John Cooper Works Challenge-Spoke Alloy Wheel on them now and am curious about getting either the Enkei J10 or EDR9 wheels; what I am curious about is the fitment. I've found both wheels on TireRack who state they will fit, but I was curious about the difference in offset impacting the car (Challenge Spoke: 48, EDR9: 38, J10: 42). Any insight would be appreciated!

Welcome to NAM.
Yep you have joined a group of individuals that recognize what a great handling car the MINI is. Do some great twisties like the Tail of Dragon, Back of Dragon or the Snake and it becomes quite addicting.
On the wheels, Tire Rack normally says if the make/model required offset plates. I went with some Enkei and did not need any. If I remember the stocks were 44 and the Enkei were 40, no issues. With coilovers that is not normally the case.
