If you can stand using our M14-M12 conversion studs for fitment on an R56, we'll soon have a 15x6.5" forged wheel (+38 ET) that weighs 8.1 pounds and is available in 7 anodized colors with a polished lip... Just waiting to hear when they've arrived at our supplier, which should be any day now... MSRP is expected to be $250/wheel.

We can't wait to get a set on with some 225/45R15 NT-01 goodness...

If you have an MCS then 15" wheels will not clear the front brakes. If not then disregard.

I have Motegi Tracklite In flat black, 15x6.5 10 lbs ea. These will fit an R56 S without stud conversion.

Wow... those are pretty nice.

Any pics on an R56? (Other than the thing on the website)

My car with 15" flat black 5 spokes, BEFORE TSW springs

They're not the Motegi wheels, but flat black five spokes just look black. I bought them to get lightweight 15 inch track wheels. They work great, but I'm not sold on the look.

Thanks!

I like them. I'll definitely look into them when I'm picking some track wheels...

SSr Type C (was Comp) are 9lbs.

Go to www.tirerack.com and search for wheels - they show all the weights...

Don't see them fitting a 2008 (actually mine is a 2009) Mini.....would prefer 15x7 if possible.
