I want to have another wheel set for my R58 JCW.
Especially, time attack style(black with red lips) is very attractive.
When I looked at the available wheels in TireRack.com, Motegi Racing MR117 will be one of the affordable wheel set.
Anybody tried 17" MR117 on R58 JCW? I have some questions about this rim.

Can I reuse the OE M14x1.25 lug bolts with MR117?
Is hub bore of Motegi Racing wheels 72.6mm?


Anybody recommend other time attack style wheels for Mini.

Is Alex@tirerack on vacation? I send e-mail to him, but I couldn't get response yet.

Thanks from Louisville, KY

 

Yes, you can reuse stock lug bolts.

Otherwise keep trying Alex and leave an email or call him at extension 294 and he can try to track down some time attack wheels for you.

Rota wheels sometimes have time attack black with red stripe but it depends on which wheel-


Slipstreams 17x7.5 and other sizes.

Ebay has some time attack, not 17" though

Volk time attack 15x7 only no 17"

Otherwise you can paint them how you want with any painted wheels.
