Hello people, I need some help. I bought this Mini a few weeks back, but unfortunately for me, don't know what some of the upgrades are. I can only assume that these wheels are not stock, and was wondering if someone recognized them and could maybe tell me what they are. They are 18's if that is any help.



Thanks.

 

They are not aftermarket they are the John Cooper Works R105s

 

Thanks for the quick response!

These cars are so much fun, and I actually had a guy wait next to my car in his Mini to complement my car the other day. He started asking me what was done to it, and I was like "uhhhhhh....stuff" lol. I always said I'd never buy someone else's work like that, but the car was too sexy to pass up.

How can I tell if it has had a pulley upgrade done to it?

 

They sure are fun, you will quickly become addicted. Im honestly not too sure about the pulley, people say that you can tell because the car has a little bit more torque to it during acceleration but it isn't that huge of a difference.

 

Wow! Nice graphic!

 

The stock pulley is a hot pressed steel part...usually black, no boltholes...99% of the aftermarket pullies made since 2004 are cnc machined stainless, sometimes aluminum, with a few bolt holes...colors vary.
