:( Hit a pothole and bent one of my wheels...

I'm looking for a 17" S-Spoke (04 Cooper S Chilli)

Must be in excellent condition, no gutter rash.

If you know where I might be able to get hold of one please speak up!

There is a european car wreckers near the Brisbane airport that could have some laying around. Might be worth a shot.

You and 10 other people I saw on the way home today. Be careful everyone, lots of BIG potholes out there at the moment

Odd - perhaps its different over there with you guys c.f. here in the UK as over here they dont do the X-lite in a 17", its 16" only...

May just be a different naming convention perhaps... I was trying to help seem to be getting in the way lol

Ive attached a pic of an X-lite as it is called over here - is that what the OP is after ?

If so Ive found this listing (although it is for a set of 4 but pretty cheap): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Mini-Alloy-Wheels-16-/200530070545?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_ Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item2eb0860c11

As reflected in the FAQ (http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?faq=faq_wheels_tyres#faq_faq_factory_wheel s), some OEM wheels have several names:
17x7 R85 (http://www.mini2.com/galleries/data/572/R85.jpg) has been called S-spoke, S-lite and LeMans

16x6.5 R84 (http://www.mini2.com/galleries/data/572/R84.jpg) has been called X-lite, V-spoke and Monza

Click the R## designation for wheel image

My bad - sorry about that. :redface:

Strange that they are called S-lites too seeing as how they weight the same as a small planet... lol

Can you have the wheel fixed or is it cactus?

Getting it fixed, but it's going to take a while... Don't want to be without my MINI for any longer!! R85 is the wheel S-Spoke I think it is. thanks for the replies guys.
