I found this wheel in my searches, but I'm not sure it will work. Reviews I've read have been mostly very positive:


This is an ADR or Advanti Racing M-Classic Wheel. It comes in a 4x100 bolt pattern in size 17x7.5. It's CHEAP compared to the R90 wheels. Only $175 per wheel.

Here is the webite for more info on the wheel:

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/ADR/ADR.htm

I have two questions:
Will this wheel work on the MINI with a non-runflat tire?
Will this wheel work with the stock 17" runflat tires. The R90's are 17x7.

Thanks,
JS

I was thinking of going for these wheels from the same company:

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/roel.gif

(details 1/4 way down: http://www.wheelmax.com/Specials/specials.html )

They look the same as the hartge wheels only 17's and $799 with tyres! bargain!

I checked the size again, and I see 17x7.5 for the M-Classic. There was a similar wheel called the M-Sport that was 17.7, but I didn't care for the deep recess lip of that wheel. Or were you talking about the wheel fullupo posted? That one is 17x7.


I hope someone will chime in here and tell me if I can fit a stock 17" runflat to a 17x7.5 wheel.

See ya,
JS

BBS RX2 seems to be similar. Not cheap though. Just remember you buy cheap you get cheap products. Wheels & tires are very important!
