Hey guys. I have a 02 Mini cooper s and I need to get some new rims because I hit a curb. Right now I have 17's on them with low profile tires. My info for my rims are:

* width of 7" or 7.5"
* 4x100 bolt pattern
* center bore of at least 56.1mm
* offset between 35mm and 50mm


Right now I am looking to get these rims off a guy from craigslist. He is asking 300 for Enkei EDR9 wheels without tires. I already have some tires so I just need the rims. Do you guys think it's a good deal and do you think it will fit my mini?



Thanks for the help. :)

What is the offset of the wheels? The center bore is 72.6, so you'll need to buy hubcentric rings.

offset is 38.

offset is 38.
You may experience tire rub with lower offset wheels if your car is lowered and/or 215/45-17 tires are fitted.
