I plan to track my MINI in the summer so the 1st question is:

1: More to do with understanding tyres. Basically i want Toyo R888 tyres ( Lohen.co.uk - Track & Fast Road Performance for your New Mini - Online Shop ) and im thinking of getting a cheap set of 'old' mini wheels off ebay to go with them. Will they fit?

2: If i draw bonnet stripes to the style i want, where and how can i get them done?

Don't know about the first one by for custom decals you need to speak to Phil at Mini pirate - one of the site sponsors - website cab be found in the directory at the top of the page

Hope this helps

The 17" tyres will fit any 17" MINI wheel such as S-spokes, Bullets, Web Spokes, R90s, R99s, Crown Spokes, Flame Spokes etc. You're more likely to find S-spokes and Bullets cheaply on eBay.

The 18" will fit the JCW 18" wheels, but they will not be cheap on eBay

Wooly - we are in the process of putting all our new R56 decals onto our website, which will be relaunched soon. But if you need anything just PM me as I have the dimensions for R56 Bonnet Stripes.

Cheers, Phil.

17" S Spokes do NOT fit the R56 because of the bigger brake discs. All other 17" wheels fit though.

also the s-lite will not be ideal for the track as they are really heavy. better off going for a O.Z or Team dynamics.

are you sure about this?

Just that the S-spokes fit over the R53 JCW brakes, which are around the same size as the R56 brakes

According to price brochure the only 17" accessory wheels that don't fit R56 are the S Spokes, they are still listed as available for convertible.
