The OP for the LM replicas isn't replying to my PM - maybe you guys can help me out. Who makes those knock-offs?

That Yellow R56 is hot D Unit!

 

D-unit, given the time of year it is, you need some magnetic, removable School Bus decals... because (other than color) that's about as far from a school bus as a 4-wheel, full-bodied vehicle can get! Nice look!

 

The OP is in the UK - here's a thread about them for those in the UK

They come in 17x8 ET35 which is pretty damn sick for 499 Euros. I wonder how much shipping to the states would be :(

 

16x7 Rota RB custom painted Honey gold. Hankook Ventrus RS-2 205/45-16


Next a big drop

 

Do you think you'll need spacers in the front with your KWs?

 

not with that low an offset...should be ok

 

Can anyone chime in and let me know if these ROH wheels with a 28 offset would work on a Clubman?

I like their similarity to the R108 ... wonder what the weight of the ROH's is?

Anyone have experience with ROH wheels?

 

Holy crap. 1,050,099 views on this thread. I can't even fathom that.

But I do love this thread!

 

I love them, it makes the world of difference to the mini... i cant take all the credit my boyfriend did help my put them on.
just thought i should put the diff in weight between the stock 16 and my 17inch which is less. i thought that was awesome.










my stock wheels are for sale if interested $500 with tires plues shipping

 

Emailed him, he no longer has them in 4x100

 

offset's pretty high... might stick out past the arches. unless you're going for a stretch/poke look

 

Removing 4 of the double arms of the wheel, it look's like a GP Wheel

 

Man, what a bummer. Got my new tires and wheels put together the other day and found out that the 08 Cooper S has a l4mm/1.25 pitch lug. What are you guys with 08 cooper using to mount your aftermarket wheels, conversions studs or what? Is there anyone doing this lug bolt yet? The search indicated a conversion but too much thread showing on the outside of the wheel. Would much rather use a bolt the same design as the stock. Any help is appreciated.

 

Assuming the holes in your wheels are the right size, you can:

1. use the original lug bolts
2. buy a set of 14mm/1.25 pitch lugs
3. do a stud conversion

If the holes aren't the right size then you will need to get them drilled out. Many have done it themselves but I wouldn't.

Both times I bought aftermarket wheels for my 07 I had the people I bought the wheels from do the drilling and my lug bolts fit just fine.

 

The wheel holes are the correct size so lucky there, no drilling required. Did some more searching and decided to go with TxWerks studs and r26 nuts.

 

great wheels people...

 

Stud conversion...... TexasSpeedwerks.com has you parts. you will need to buy these studs and lugs, call jeff he'll hook ya up

 

tiny2, I really wish you looked happier... so sad....

Nice wheels!

 

My new Motegi SP10 17x7s... (unfortunately still on my oem runflats)






Love them!

 

Astro Black ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like the flat black wheels

 

Here are my 17" Momo Corse RPM's.

 

Looks nice. Similar to Kosie K-1 TS but looks like yours has polished lip. What do the weigh and what cost?

 

I think they're in the neighborhood of 17 1/2 lbs and $150 each. Got them matched to some Yokohama S Drives and am very happy.
