AAAH! Why can't these be 16in?
 
I would buy these probably in a heartbeat if they were 16 inch instead of 15. Granted, I could live with it but I'd rather have the slightly better response of the 16's. Oh, well. This means I can keep dreaming about my RPF1's someday.

No, actually I didn't and now I'm glad I do. They list 56.1 as a hub bore which is even 1st Gen. MINI sizing isn't it? Oh, and would I be alright with a backspacing of 30? That is how I see it listed, am I right or do they have weird way of listing back spacing that I'm not understanding?

Never mind, I just read it again. They list "04" and than "30" under offset and they list +40 under the pulldown tab when you choose size and bolt pattern. I'm assuming the +40 is backspacing but whats the point behind the 04 and 30 under offset?

Yeah they dont quite have the best of websites there, but nice knock off wheels. Someone can correct me if im wrong but the 56.1 bore is what the mini is so it shouldn't need a centering ring. The 40 offset is good for the mini. I think a lot of those wheels sold go to MINIs, but a call cant hurt to make sure everything works.
