Has anyone ordered the base coupe with 16" Four Hole spoke wheels?
This is the default wheel when you order the Sport Package on the
MINI website.
I have searched for actual photos of a Coupe with these wheels and can't find any even though the wheels have been offered since the beginning?
Any help to find pics would be appreciated.

 

The 16" Holies ?? Good luck finding photos of that. IMO, that would be like trying to install a rotary dial on a smart phone.

Mixing old with new works in some cases but hmmmm... I don't believe those wheels work very well on a Coupe.

 

No not holies.....they are four hole spoked wheels...they are the default MINI wheel when you order the Sport Package on the configurator.

 

Oh, my bad. Should have known, holies have more than 4 holes. You're talking about the wheels that look like they have 4 horseshoes on them. Much nicer than holies, IMO.

Have you looked through the sticked thread on this forum ?

 

Yep, and the horseshoe shaped ones are 17", the 16" is rounder and actually appear to form holes.

 

The "horseshoe" wheels are what I have, 17" flamespoke, and there are 5 horseshoes.

Thx James, those are the wheels, now if I could see what they look like on a Coupe on a nice side shot photo !

 

And just for the record, the standard factory wheels on the Coupe are none other than the famous 15" 7-hole "holies."

 

I like those wheels a lot. They probably clean real easy too. Cleaning my wheels takes as long as washing/drying the rest of the car.

 

Borrowed this photos from the White Silver owner's club thread. It's not a Coupe but it is from the cousin of the Coupe, maybe it will help you.

 

Thanks CR&PW that's the pic I was looking to see , they looked good to me on the configuration, but you can't beat the real thing to confirm what your looking at !!

 

You got that right Big Newt, I've got Delta spokes on my Cooper and they are a bear to clean, on the other hand the 17" wheel on my wife's Countryman are a dream to keep clean.

 

Here's the wheels on my basically stock Cooper S Coupe, black on black.

 

Thanks for the photo !
That's a clean look on the all black
