Ok I did it,I purchased good looking cheap wheels.I have the wrong centering hubs.I'm trying to put Excel art wheels on my Mcs.How do I take appropriate measurements on the wheel to order the right part.I know the right answer is Tire Rack,byt I thought i was saving money.

Boy, there are two things you never want to try to buy cheap, and
wheels and parachutes!

mike,

you need to find the centerbore for the wheels. it might be stamped on the inside of the wheel. then you just need to go to discount tire or ntb and buy the correct size to get it to the MINI's centerbore (56.1mm, pretty sure, same as most Honda Civics). what size did centering rings did they send you? if it's not labeled, i bet the tire shop could figure it out if you brought a wheel in with you.
