Check www.Tirerack or any retailer that stocks Enkeis... good luck! You can also consider a stud conversion kit.

Wow, those look fantastic. 5-spokes don't usually do it for me on MINIs, These however, are just right.

They really aren't terrible wheels for the price huh?

they are actually pretty decent. I didnt expect much so hopefully theyll hold up for a little while Quality is better than what Ive seen from many machined/painted OEM wheels.

Looks like you probably need some more stretch to properly fit those wheels. A 195/50 should help out with the fitment since I'm assuming you got the 8" version of those wheels.

All the kids with the Weed-wacker exhaust Civics around here have those wheels. Those on a MINI are just wrong!

Wow, a bunch of straight up haters here-
'cept Rally- respect. . .

I'd like to see a full car pic and a couple different angles before I make an opinion, and even then only post if I had anything constructive to say.

Seems to have a nice lip at least. . .

He's got a straight on view in his gallery. With a little camber and stretched tires, fitting them shouldn't be difficult. Then lower it on some coilovers and the stance will be dialed in nicely

Is that really how close an 0 offset, 8" wheel is to tucking? Those are 16x8 XXRs, yes?

So, a 16x8 et20 should be fine with a bit of tire stretch and about 2 degrees neg camber?

Are they et0? I thought they offered et15 too?

I had 15x8 et15 with stretched tires and -2.5 degrees of camber and they just barely tucked.

If they're really et 0, there may be some more problems fitting the fronts successfully.

What made the wheels nice here in Vegas, is not many imports with this type of rim. I was up late last night working on the images so here is a few that are better.

Yea I have got the wheel gap. right now it is not bothering me.

I have to call up the rims shop and swing by to get the rims balanced, because at 45-50 mph I am getting a slight steering wheel shimmy that was not present with my 17 stock wheels and run flats.
