Wheel choices

If when I place my order for an R56 Cooper I opt for the Sport package, which adds the 16-inch wheels, do I also get the stock 15-inch wheels or will I lose them?

You lose them. The Sport package is an "upgrade" which gives you 16-inch wheels instead of the 15-inch wheels (amongst other things). Of course, you can still buy the 15s separately if you want them too... but if you want the Sport package options except for the 16" wheels, you'll have to choose those other options individually and not pick the package.

I thought the sport package was an upgrade to the 17''? The 16'' is the stock wheel??

You're thinking of the MCS. The MC starts with a 15", and the 16" is the "sport" option. The MCS starts with 16", and the 17" is the sport.

Sowellman said R56 Cooper, not R56 Cooper S.
