Help me find a wheel

Wouldn't you know it. I've been looking for a set of wheels to upgrade my factory S-lites for a few years now. I just can't ever find anything I like enough to justify the outlay of cash. Until now. Except....they're 5 lug Does anyone know of a comparable wheel in 4 lug that would fit with few mods? 16, 17, or 18 if fine.

Take your pick-

First determine your budget, then think about which wheel diameter and tire you need/want.

Sometimes it is not bad to think about optimizing your tire choice with respect to your budget or driving needs (summer vs All Season, performance vs touring comfort and long treadlife)

Since some tires only come in certain sizes if you have that limitation then you can select a rim that suits the tire sizes, I know that it sound backwards from the way most people approach wheel purchase but you'd be surprised how well it might work.

In other words, determine your budget and unique needs then think "big picture" on how to get there.

Stick to 4 bolt (4x100 pattern) wheels is the best for your MINI. And the least complicated.

I've been looking for months myself.
Wish we had 5 bolt on R56.
I like the Breyton GTS-R.


I looked at Fiske and few other custom jobs but 6k is just too much
I have a set of OZ ultraleggera's u can have for 500 18x7 great shape.
