i really love the look of these wheels, but i'm wondering if they'll actually fit as it says they will. no clue who makes the replicas either so what do you guys think? thanks in advance!

There is a guy down the street from where I live that has some chrome BMW wheels on his Cooper S

 

Wheel size (17x7), bolt pattern (4x100) and center bore (56.1mm with hubring) are all MINI compatible. Offset of 38mm is OK unless your MINI is lowered and you plan on running 215/45-17 tires.

 

Uhh ohhh...was planning to install the megans racing coilovers as well. might be a problem then?

 

It might still be possible. Talk to Alex@tirerack.com for full info.

If you use a tire that is not too wide like 205/45-17 and if you don't mind a little trimming on the rear outer wheel arch on the inner side, and if you can adjust rear camber a little more negative then it could work well enough.

I think it is possible. 215/45-17 is a bit too large and wide a tire size and might require more trimming and more adjusting to fit. 215/40-17 might also work as long as the tire width is not an issue.

If you use adjustable coil overs you can just adjust the height in the rear to fit just right.

 

look like HRE 547
