JCW Aftermarket Wheels
Maybe this has been discussed else where, but has anyone found aftermarket wheels that will clear the Big Brembo brakes, that look good other than other MINI wheels?
My intentions, when I finally order one of these JCW's is to go with the black wheels, use them for Winter tires, then have another set of mounted wheels for the warm/summer weather. In actuality, I don't care for any of the MINI wheels available to the JCW, could live with the black, but for Winter, they'll do. I was thinking that the NM wheels that ECS sells would fit, not in love with them either, but a little gloss black, some polishing on the rim and they'd do. I, also thought that O.Z had some that would fit, but I'm not seeing it. I want 17" wheels, but would settle for 18"'s if I had to. I know that I'm six months away from even ordering something, but time does run fast. On another note, beings I am the initiator of this thread, I contacted a company in the UK about carbon fibre Viper stripes to go along with the carbon fibre material that I bought for the top that I am intending on doing. He says that he can make anything, just to send him a sample of what I have and he'll find some there and make the stripes. Don't know costs, but he's reasonable on everything else he sells. Thought that some here would like to know that. |
It seems wheels are something that will take a little while for a list of options to become available. TireRack will have something soon; they are normally one of the first to show a few selections.
I agree that the factory wheels are not all that great - especially the way they do a reverse of concave wheels and curve way out past the front edge of the tire. |
wheels are really a personal choice so pick what you like. I like 17inch as there more options for tires and more cost effective over 18 inch.
We do sell the NM wheels if you want them. But look around and decide what you want. http://www.waymotorworks.com/wheels/ |

The NM wheels will not clear the JCW brakes. I have confirmed this with NM on my quest for wheels. I decided to use H&R spacers for now so I can fit 225's with the JCW 18's.

If they don't clear, can anyone recommend spacers? |

Ok that worries me as I also called NM about a month ago and they said the 18" RSe12 wheels will clear JCW brakes on the 2015. I have since ordered and they're in my garage. I should be taking delivery of my new JCW end of this week. Fingers crossed.

I just sent Jerry @ NM a follow up email to see if anything has changed.

They appear to fit. Helix installed some lowering springs (Craven?) on this JCW and posted this. No word on whether they were direct fit or needed spacers though.

Well that answers the question, thanks. I haven't heard back from NM. Curious what spacers you used? I bought H&R 12mm for the front and 15mm for the back. Parts 2455664 and 3055664. They have them listed here:

|
Just received an email from NM. They have confirmed the need for spacers on the JCW. They said 5mm should be enough to clear the brakes.
|
I am a bit confused...I thought another member of the site installed a set of wheels with a +45 offset on their fJCW without spacers. Is it the design of the spokes for NM wheels which call for spacers?

Or inside edge of track spoke to disc face to help I'm retrofitting jcw calipers, but only on the basis that they fit my new wheels They will be arriving soon, but they need a new c/b machining out from 57.1 So will be a while before I can bring anything to the table |
Will these wheels clear the JCW brakes without issues?
