We just landed some new alzor wheels in that OEM design. Which we have not emailed/launched yet on social. 19"x7.5" so they are 1/2" more narrow then the stock wheel so they can clear more lowered cars in the F55-F57 Platform.
Gives you another option. These also fit the MINI factory center cars for F54-F55-F56 F57 F60
Thank you - immediately after I posted this new thread I noticed someone who had bought these back in October!! I presume people are using 10mm or 12.5mm spacers with these? What size tires are people fitting (since they're a half inch narrower than stock)?
Yep, ours are a different offset and the width is 7.5" vs 8" et45 vs es47 so like 2mm difference. Not much, I would keep that same spacer set up.
205/40r19 205/35r19 215/35r19 215/40r19 possible sizes 215/35r19 i believe would be the closest to oem set up. (225/35R19 is for the 19x8" factory MINI wheels) https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=36_2132
Just watch as 35 series tire are pretty small on the side wall. So be careful on bad roads.
205/40/19 is not a size that is available in any tire from Tire Rack or Discount Tire. Same goes for 205/35/19 and 215/40/19. Tire Rack have zero tires in 215/35/19 and Discount Tire has one (a Nitto Neo Gen that I wouldn't even put on my worst enemy's car).
So, I guess the Alzor is a good option rather than paying for OEM .. but what tire am I going to find to fit on them??
We just mounting 235/35r19 on them. And they look pretty square, the tire is a bit wider. But not much. We are going to test fit with that wider tire here soon on an F56 MINI Cooper.
235/35r19 is a more common tire for BMW, VW, and Audi wheels we have here.

Any chance you could post some photos with tires on them (and confirm what brand of tire they are)? I’m not worried about the wheel and tire combo fitting on my car - more worried about the fit of the tire on the wheels.
I've used the Continental Extreme Contact DWS for several years on my R53. Love the way they handle in the dry or wet. They've been great for track days and they wear very well.

Great - any input on what size of them you’d put on 19 inch Circuit Spoke 592 wheels that are a half inch narrower than OEM??
I thought I'd update this thread, to close it out.
I went ahead and bought a set of the wheels from ECS Tuning, and had them (and new tires) fitted today.
My only regret is that I listened to Tire Rack and went with a 225/40/19 sized tire when I should have listened to ECS and went with their suggested 235/35/19 sized tire - the extra width would have brought with it a little bit more rim protection, but the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ I wanted to use weren't available in 235/35/19 anyway.
I did need to use 12mm spacers in order for the front wheels to clear the JCW caliper - and went for those spacers all round. Photos embedded below.
