Question about Wedssport wheels

I have just purchase a set of Wedssport TC005 wheels for my Mini Cooper S, they are 16' and 4 x 100. They are used and do not come with wheel nuts and cap, may I ask if my stock wheel nuts and lock will fit the Wedssport wheels or not? And since they do not come with wheel caps, does Mini sell wheel caps which will fit the Wedssport?

Thanks a lot

It's hard to say that size the centercaps are on your wedssports.

MINI makes many wheels with some that take centercaps which you can buy separately. If you have the wheels you can take it to a MINI parts dept and see if they have any centercaps in stock and try to match them.

Some owners make their own centercaps out of PVC pipe cut to size in the right diameter to fit the hole in the wheel.

Another idea is to contact wedssports and buy centercaps that fit then put on your own MINI decals to fit the centercaps. Sometimes sign companies can make custom centercaps for you.

Thank you so much for the information! The seller finally gave me back all the wheel caps but not the wheel nuts, may I ask if the Mini wheel nuts will fit? Or it has to be Wedssport Wheel nuts?

Thanks for your help.

The stock MINI wheel bolts should work with your wedssport rims.

Example of Wheel bolt that includes the nut. Your MINI has this.


Example of wheel nut that fits over aftermarket wheel stud. Studs are used often for racing to make wheel changes easier or to accomidate wheel spacers.
