Thanks! Yes your right... Opted to go without. Handles great... Was hoping for a smoother ride...I mean the rise is nice. But so are the bumbs.. Guess that has to do with the mini and suspension. I think the 19 fill out the car more.

So, "Bignose13" it's your car in this video:

After some CSI work, I've found that the wheels are Avarus AV7s, is that right?
The car looks great with these wheels, and the way the aero kit looks. Could you let us know how the kit and the wheels went on, did you have to buy new tires also? Thanks

Thanks!
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.
