Do S-lite fit all R53 Mini Cooper S?

Hey guys I love my S-lites but they were curbed pretty bad on a couple from the previous owner. I have a 2006 R53 and can get mint S-lites off of a 2004 R53. I just wanted to make sure these would fit no problem, as I've read the lug size changed in 2006-2007 to a bigger size. I have S-lites that fit fine now for my winter wheels, just wanted to make they would fit no problem from an earlier year.

The lug size changed in 2007 for all but 'verts. Even so, you can use later wheels on your car, if you wanted. I'd stick with the S-Lites from a style perspective, though. Others will tell you how heavy and useless they are. They are not wrong.

It's your car, so take this as you will - If you like the look of the S-Lites, I would instead buy a set of Rota RB wheels. They look very similar to S-Lites, but are 6lbs lighter per wheel in a 17x7.5. Those S-Lites are ANYTHING but light! More like S-Anchors.
