Wheel fitment question.

Hello people...
Question for you guys. I need to remove my wheels (Aftermarket) to have the lips of them polished, so in the meantime I need to roll on a set of cheap wheels. Will stock steelies from a honda fit? Its the same bolt pattern, but not sure about the clearence, Plus I wouldnt mind having one for a spare on my S.
Thanks...

Can't beat eBay for buying a spare wheel set. Example provided is not the least expensive I've seen, but you can count on them as a reliable dealer.

I've seen new sets in the $400 range and used far less. having a real MINI set also gives you an option at trade or sell time, or winter depending on the rubber used. I know this doesn't completely pertain to your limited use situation, but eBay is a great source to find other wheels that'll fit (just need the right bolt circle and offset range). I think some Hondas used the 4x100 bolt circle, but you have to check.

I know hondas use a 4x100 (Cvics) The local junkyard has the steel wheels with tires for like $15.00 each. I guess I'll have to find someone with a honda to see it would work. I was reading a post here on NAM about people looking for a Mini Spare for the Cooper S and some have bought one from the dealer for like $40.00 for the wheel and then buying the tire for $60.00+ somewhere else. I cant see paying that kind of money if I spare from a Honda would work.
