Help: Need Rims With Concave Look That Fit Mini's
Hi,
Can someone help me find some deep concave looking rims that will fit a mini? In particular, the ones shown below.
I know about the rims below and uffing love them, but don't know if they will fit my mini.
XXR 522, Volk TE37, Rota IK-R, SSR Type-C
I'm also aware that we wider the rim the deeper the concave you can get & the closer the offset number is to (0) zero, the deeper the concave. I just don't know what the maximum offset look i can get is, without having to add some wider fenders or do any serious body work. I just want a plug-n-play option.
- Does someone out there have them installed on their car?
- If so post some pics up along with ur specs so we can see them.
many thanks!
I've shown these rims installed on small cars hoping they can fit the mini too ::crossing fingers:: i hope someone out there has been able to get the deep concave look on a mini.
XXR 522
VOLK TE37
ROTA IKR
SSR Type-C
btw i'm new here to the forum and to the mini community. I tried searching the forum for similar posts but didnt find what i was looking for. Also, as you can see i did find some minis with

That is quite the juxtaposition of wheels you are selecting from, they range from high end forged Volk's and SSR Type C to low end rung XXR 522 and Rota IK-R. In other words from $2,400 to $400 a set of wheels.
But most importantly to determine fitment is which model and year MINI you have?

Spacers and a little Dremel work on the wheel wells and fender trim make all the difference. Good news is 2nd Gen MINI offers the most room and with base MINI you don't have to worry about pesky brake calipers and rotors getting in the way.

Exactly. MINI just don't have the dimensional space for deep concave wheels. It's just a dimension thing of being a compact car. Which the engine, the offset can only be so much inward.
