Has anyone used these rims before | Alzor Style 349

Hi all,


I have been looking for some rims for my 2016 JCW Hardtop and came across these Alzor Style 349 wheels on ECS Tuning.

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Site...zor/ES2730290/


They look like the could potentially fit but the Center Bore is off by .1 mm

Mini Center Bore: 66.5

Alzor Style 349 Center Bore: 66.6


Does anyone know if that .1 mm would make a difference and also has anyone ever used this company or fitted these wheels before?

Thanks

I looked at those but they are very heavy so I passed.

The ball seat lug means they're for VW wheel bolts. Not safe for use with MINI taper-seat lugs.

You can buy ball seat lugs if they don't come with them. I did for my wheels. You can't find them in black, but you won't want them in black anyway. As for the .1mm, I don't know if that matters.

A 14x1.25 ball seat? Do you have a link or source?

Here are some 18x8 ET35, 66.6CB 5x112. Conical lugs.

We have not tested the fitment on the alzor yet on an F56.

They came with my OZ wheels, which were on closeout on Tirerack so I don't have a source. I was looking for black lugs though, and could not find them, but found plenty of silver ones. I ended up using covers instead.

Would you be able to use a Taper Lug Nut to Ball Socket adapter washer like this?
