Panasport FS16 ok with MINI center caps??

I am considering these wheels and was wondering if the MINI OE center caps would fit. I believe they are 50mm? If anyone has done this or knows if it can be done please respond. Thanks

not panasport - asa minilite replicas!

I do offer a similar solution to what you requested.
The Mini cooper version has a cap holder to take your OE Mini logo.

I did see those Alex and that is an option also. My only concern with those is the finish. From the picture they seem to be a really bright silver, almost chrome looking. Since I have never seen them "in the flesh", how do they compare to the Panasport finish?

I'm not sure. The spoke style is also a little different. Personally, I lean towards Panasports, but I'm biased as this is my girlfriend's (JerseyGirl's) car:




However, the stock MINI centercaps will NOT fit on Panasports. However, the wheels came with pretty nice ones, so we don't mind.

I had seen that picture and those wheels look great. May I ask where she got her Panasports from and what the price was? I'm getting a quote of $245.00ea on the FS 16's with polished lip. Thanks also for the center cap answer.

She got them from a tuner shop in Reading PA (I think the name is K.A.M. Specialties) early in 2004. It was a package deal with Dunlop SP's mounted/balanced including chrome lug bolts. Around $1600 for everything if I remember correctly.
