So i just purchased a set of konig feathers in 16x7 and 4x100 bolt pattern. from what ive heard the feathers would bolt up perfectly to my car, but lately i have been searching on the forums and people say the bolt size wont fit on these rims. i have a 2004 mini cooper s. 11/03 build if that helps. am i gonna have to get a lug conversion or do i have to bore out the wheels holes.
kinda worried here

No worries. Your Cooper has 4x100

 

gonna be fine

 

okay thanks for the reassurance. i was a little worried when i saw those threads. thanks for the quick responses guys. i really appreciate it!

 

Welcome aboard. Post some pics. And for the love of MINI wave to your fellow owners.

 

Yeah you're fine. It's not even a 4x100 issue, it's a 12mm or 14mm issue. The feathers are 12mm holes, and MINI went to 14mm lugs in late '06. With an '04 you've got no worries.

 

thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it. heres a wave for you buddy! i was truly worried for a second.

heres a pic of how she sits now. the feathers im getting are going to be in gold

 

Nice! That'll look good. I have silver Feathers 16x7 waiting to be mounted. Got them used already drilled out to 14mm to fit my car. I was considering having them painted gold or bronze. Gold with my Chili Red will look a little too "McDonalds" though, but maybe bronze.

 

yea the green is different. lot of haters but thats what you get when you are different from anywhere else, sad world man. but all honesty this is my first car i am legitimately modding. my previous car, a mk4 r32, only had a res delete. there wasnt much you can do on a naturally aspirated car, especially the mk4 r32. there is just so many things you can do to a mini cooper s. funny you say that i was at a car meet recently and someone said the same thing about their mini too lol. but regardless it should look nice if you do it right! red/bronze has always been one of my favorite color combos!

 

An old friend of mine could've helped you mod your R32. He owns a company you may have heard of...C2 Motorsports


I really like the white/green combo. As previously stated, you're good on the bolts.

 

aww yes c2 motorsports. one of my favorite companies associated with building the perfect R. the thing was though when i owned my car i was in my last semester of high school and really didnt have money to do much. i barely bought the car myself from saving up all my birthday money and what not lol. but it was one hell of a car as is. now that i do have a job i can comfortably mod the mini with no problems. yea the white green combo is nice but i wanted something different cuz ive been rocking these for a while now
