F54 Ordering my JCW tomorrow!!!

Ordering my JCW tomorrow!!!
Just finalized my deal on a 2017 JCW F54, placing order topmorrow, don't love any of the wheel options but still opted for the 19s anyway. Anyone have feedback on how they like the 19s on this car ride quality wise? Still torn if I should just get the stock 18s and put that $750 to wheels I want instead. Opinions? Thanks all
Oh yeah while I wait the 8 or 9 weeks for delivery my R55 is for sale, every option mini made including Recaros, I'll be trading it in but have it up for sale in the mean time just in case(not happy with how big of a value hit we took on these with the F54 out so private sale we be awesome). If anyone is looking for a beautiful, loaded R55 with a ton of extras ping me!

Congrats! The car does ride smoother then the older MINI, we had some 19" non runflat aftermarket wheels on it and the non runflats made the difference. Ditch the runflats and the 19" should be fine. It will be a bit smoother with the 18" non runflats.

ok, you are going to need this and have to use in on the rear wheel and swap rear tire to the front and vice versa as that front spare will not clear the JCW brakes. You will also need a 125/70/17 tire.

Ok after much turmoil and debate here is my final build!

I will likely order aftermarket 18s with better tires and keep the factory RFs for winter. The hard part is over, now we sit and wait....

@ECSTuning are all the wheel options denoted for the JCW hardtop applicable to the F54 as well? Also you guys aware of anyone making a full cargo cover for when the seats are down? Worked great on my R55 with the dogs in the back but I don't see much of anything available for the F54.
Thanks!
Thanks!

hello,
The F56 wheels are not set on our site for the F54 as the F54 has shared F60 wheels. The aftermarket wheels fit, we just have not tested all the factory JCW F56 wheels on the F54. What we found is the off sets and sizes are a littler bigger on the F54 and then you have to worry about clearing the brakes.
These are the JCW F54 wheels.
19"x8 ET:57 , F56 MINI have an ET54 (Most F56 wheels are Et54 and are 18x7 and smaller. So it's close. The F54 Wheels would be big on the F56 and stanced a little, hence thats what WCC did on this:
But F56 wheels in certain sizes might fit F54, if not we have wheel spacers that can help that.

No full cargo cover yet that I have heard of.
Just the universal for the rear seats and the rear black floor mat.

I bought a set of 17" Enkei RPF1 (for my F56) and shaved 6 lbs per wheel off the stock rims. Tire swap saved another 2 lbs per corner (netted 10 more WHP and 11 more Lb ft of torque. Shop for weight and then style.
I'm looking at a JCW Clubman as a replacement for the F56 (which I will trade w/ the stock wheels and tires remounted) I have now. I'll likely keep the Enkei's and use them on the Clubman.
