Living in Colorado, and our Mini being delivered with summer tires last month, I decided to order up some winter wheels and tires.

Found on Ebay some 16" x 6.5" Black Steelies with 5 x 112 bolt pattern, +50 offset and 66.6 center hub. My question is, the center hole for a center cap is 2.5" which is bigger than the stock Mini caps. Any recommendations on what to put there? Or just run naked

I put some Conti Winter Viking Contact 7s on there in 195/55-16 size.

 

You're not going to get a center cap in that hub hole. That hole is there for the hub! They are winter wheels, run them bare.

 

Yes that makes sense for the hub., thanks!

 

OK, I am missing something here. Is the center hub hole on these wheels 66.6mm or 63.5mm (aka 2.5") ?

 

the center hub hole on the wheel is 66.6mm I forgot that the holes in the steelies are made to accommodate the actual axle hubs to fit through the wheel. And there would be no room for the standard mini Center cap for aluminum wheels. Needs more of a hub cab center cap, like VWs use.
