Hub/quick release options, same as e46?

Basically what the title states. I'm looking at getting an NRG or Grip royal wheel for the MINI. I keep getting dead ends and searched my boot off.

I'll be installing a half cage set up, brides, and harness set up so I'm not worried about the air bag. (Please don't preach about safety)

With a dished wheel I don't want to run a set up where the wheel is on my chest. I believe our hubs are the same as the e46 but I wanted to make sure as I want to run an nrg short hub, quick release and corresponding wheel.

TIA

Car just went thru a big transformation and getting it ready for Fixxfest

I like my NRG wheel, don't know if the e46 hub is the same or not but here's the part # for the OMP hub I used: Part #:OD/1960BM784A, maybe you can cross reference it. And yes you'll def. need to shorten something somewhere to use the QR, it will absolutely end up in your chest w/o.

The momo adapter seams to be the route I'll go, then get a non dish nrg wheel. That's quick release looks good, I'll look into that as well. Thanks so far guys

2007 Cooper S Hub Adapter decision?

Was impatient and guessed what hub to use on my mini just to find out it was obviously wrong. Trying to find out what hub adapter to usefor my mini. I've heard momo and sparco make one but can't find.

We have the MOMO hub adapter for MINI HERE. I believe a 1/4" washer will be required to tighten the steering shaft nut. MOMO wheels available HERE.
