Tire Rack has a particular wheel that is not listed for the Cooper S, but I found they are listed for the 2003 Civic Si. I beleive the Civic and the Cooper share the same hub diamter (56.1) and lug pattern (4x100). The size is 17x7 +43mm offset.

So, would these wheels technically fit our cars?

Thought I'd ask here before I bother Alex. Or if he reads this maybe he'll answer.

Thanks!!

This is the wheel in question- Gram Lights 57maximum. I think it's hawt!

 

I looked up my car, 2006 MCS built before May 06, and this wheel shows up for me. What year is your car, was it made after May 06? If so, maybe the wheel doesn't work with the new lug bolts mini switched to. 17x7 et 43 is fine for a mini.

 

I hope they are a fit, they look great.

 

a610- That's gotta be it. My MCS was built in 06/06. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I gotta research that lug issue- I don't know much about it.

 

If that's the case, you can always get a 14mm-12mm conversion kit. I know that Texas Speedwerks has a kit out.

 

ygblat- Thanks! I just finished reading this TX Speedwerks thread on the conversion kit: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=86777

Looks like all I need is this:

Comes with fancy "racing lug nuts" and wheel locks, too! Sweet!

The MINI community is great! Reminds me of the VW community about 10 years ago.

 

My pleasure, canyoncarver. Can't wait to see those beauties on your MCS!
