I've been searching for some basic steelies to put on the Cooper for the winter, but everywhere I find them, they have a little footnote that says "Not for MINI with JCW sport brakes."

Does anybody make a steelie that would fit a JCW Cooper?

**Edit**
Looks like I may not have the big-brakes to worry about? I bought this off-the-shelf... i.e. I didn't choose the packages so I don't even know what the hell is on here:

 

If you go to tirerack upgrade garage and put in your 2013 JCW MCS you get-

Steel black painted wheels x 4 $272 for set, 16x6.5"

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 Runflats 195/55-16 $636 for set of 4 if you need runflats.

Email Alex@tirerack.com to confir this fitment for you.

 

JCW pkg doesn't include motor upgrade to boost hp?

 

That is indeed the case if I just make my choice a 2013 Mini Hardtop S:



But if I make it a 2013 Mini Hardtop John Cooper Works, I'm only offered the 17" package:



The confusion is with what's considered a true JCW Mini? Mine seems to be the "aesthetic package" and not the performance package so perhaps the fitment for the 2013 Mini Hardtop S is more appropriate?

 

Not sure what that JCW package is, but it doesn't sound like you have a factory JCW.

Honestly, just take a look at your brakes. If they're red and huge you have JCW brakes. If they're grey you don't.

 

Red Brembo calipers = no steel wheels. If not, they should fit!

 

yeah, no big/red calipers so looks like I can get some 16's on there.

Thanks all.
