I have an R56 Cooper S PW.
I want to get some wheels and these are my options. I have been calculating offsets and everything the last few days.
The Car will be lowered on NM Eng. Springs and spacers if needed.

Option 1-
OEM JCW R113 18x7 ET52 wheels with 16mm spacers all around

Option 2-
Rotiform BLQ 17x8 ET 30. Doubt spacers are needed.
(I have ran Rotiform NUEs on my Mkv Jetta on bags, don't want them anymore)

Was debating Breyton's but I had very similar wheels on my 328i e46 too.

Actually, the OEM lug bolts should fit (M14x1.25 x 28mm long).
Rotiform requires a conical bolt which the OEM units are.
