how did you find them on Tirerack?...it is not coming up when i enter the car type?

 

OK, this is where I will appear to be somewhat critical of Tire Rack, they have their rules....until they have the actual car in front of them they do not show it as having rims available. You will find tires listed, no rims. Soooo...
do your search under Countryman, NOT S, NOT ALL4.
You should find a couple dozen rims.
I had called a friend of mine who works as a service writer for MINI of Des Moines and confirmed that all wheel hubs and suspension parts are the same. OK allowing for splined rear hubs, but the car is not different between 2wd and ALL4 as far as wheels are concerned. That would be a parts/pricing nightmare. Bottom line, if it fits a standard Countryman it will fit an ALL4.
Also be aware that the OEM wheel bolts are sometimes used on the aftermarket rims. In my case the listing stated to use OEM hardware, they were too large at the head to fit those rims, I was sent proper bolts for the rims.
You may need the TPMS devices, another $200 IF you are using the OEM rims for winter tires or ? That is my plan. If you are not going to reuse the rims, they should transfer over.

Looks good, if I go with new tires, I'm thinking 215 or 225, but not sure I want to mess with my MPG that much.

Like the alternate wheels being posted up, but I do want to stay with 17s.

FM, thanks for the comments about TR and and searching.

Thanks ..they dont make it easy do they

 

I will be ordering these this week Thanks Dan for all your support. Still looking and deciding on performance non-run flats. http://www.fastmini.net/nmenrswhform.html

 

Nice looking wheel, looking forward to seeing photos of them on the CM. I hope you're also going to lower the car as well.

 

Not sure...will wait to see how it looks..and it's clearance. Will probably work on how it's sounds. Saw a recent video on u tube sounded nice...it growled. Lol

 

The TPMS have arrived..the new wheels are due in this week Still looking at tires. Any suggestions/thoughts.

 

These will look awesome on a CM

 

Check out my Gallery ….NM Eng. 19" Gunmetals have arrived

 

They are a good looking wheel, what is the finish/quality like and how heavy are they?

 

I'd say no more than 15lbs each..total UPS shipping weight was 60lbs
Came individually boxed and each wheel wrapped in stretch material with plastic trim on both sides of the wheel edges. Quality looks great..only opened the one so far. My pictures don't due them justice..
Did you get my reply from last evening ?

 

Does anyone know if 16 inch wheels will fit on the ALL4s?

 

They will, but why would you want them, the CM needs 18's or better 19's, even the 17's look way to small. 16 look silly, have a look on the UK configurator and configure a standard CM Cooper or One.

 

I will be mounting the new NE Eng. 19" Countryman wheels soon as the tires come in Tues/Wed. of this week. I have the original 17" tunnel spoke (anthracite) wheels with the run flat all seasons straight from the build, for sale next week if any one is interested..Approx 4650 current miles, excellent shape..View them in my gallery...PM me

 

What tires did you end up going with?

 

Continentals ContiSportContact3…Only 4 available in the 235 range.
He said he's put a few on…Boxster, audi and a few BMW's..he likes them
My tire guy ordered them in for Wednesday…25.00 less than listed.

 

Dibs depending on price, wish I got tunnel spokes from the factory, not far so I can come to you to pick up.

 

The 16 inch wheels will be for the winter only. I ordered the sport pack so it will come with the 18 inch wheels with summer tires, but I am stationed in Germany so I will be dealing with heavy snow this winter. There are a lot more stud-less snow and ice options available in a 16 inch wheel, so thats why I was asking.

And besides, my DD runs a 315/75 r 16; so I tend to like the looks of a little bit more sidewall than most people

 

19" look sweet - can you PM what you paid?

 

What is your DD, 315/57 R16 is an unusal size.

I think they look better on 17's, my winter tyres are mounted on 17inch tunnel spokes, there is still a mountain of choice for 17's in Europe. I've got Goodyear Ice Grippers on mine, they work well, it's what I had on my Clubman.

 

New NE Eng. 19" Wheels…Gunmetal thru Fastmini look Super
Thanks to Dan Mach V/Fastmini for all there support. Wheels came packaged and wrapped like a glass chandelier. Quality is Great… Mount them to Continentals Conti Contac3 235/40/19's Only (4) to choose from..Either these or the Pirelli's. Picture in my gallery…more to come later Everything from the 17 Tunnels Spokes..lugs/center caps all transferred over no problem…no spacers…nuttin!

 

Those look very nice on the car!

 

Thanks....not really Wowie but adds a little to the bottom half that has the chrome trim without going full chrome .

 

Looks great Flyer! I'm guessing the tires are NOT runflats? Is that right?
