Does anyone have any idea when these wheels might be available? These are the 7-fin design available on the '05 models. There are pics at Bridger.US/MINI under the "2005 MINI Wheels" heading. I was thinking of getting panasports but I like these even better.

 

Nobody has much info on them yet.
Since they are 2005 wheels then maybe no earlier than Fall or late 2004 I would guess.
The dealers don't know anything in my area.


R92 16" Wheel also known as the "7 Fin Spoke" - Aprox. 8kg.

Panasports are also nice

$275 each from

They will be available sometime late this summer.

Three New Wheels Coming From MINI

 

Wow, thanks for the quick replies! I'm getting my MCS in April. I'm going to use the 16" V-Spokes as my snows with Blizzaks or Arctic Alpins and get a set of these R92's next spring as my summer shoes. I imagine they'll be priced similarly to MINI's other 16" wheel offerings around $750-800. I can't wait!

 

A local MINI parts guy told me that the `05 model year will start during the summer, making `04 a very short model run. Perhaps all the `05 goodies will be available then as well.

 

The '04's were available in September of '03, right? The new '05 Cabrio is expected in September so I imagine this will kick off the '05 availability as well.
