Can you have xlite cooper s wheels on a Cooper?

Hi Everyone,

What a lovely sunny day it is!

Does anyone know if I can substitute the 16" 5 star wheels from my Cooper Chili pack and change them to Monza standard Cooper S wheels?

Any help would be much appreciated.

James

I'm not sure how you'd go about ordering them but in theory it would just be a straight swap.

I'm not sure if this is corect but this is what i beleive to be true.

The X lite wheels are more expensive than the 5 spokes due to there design. So you may have to pay more. Also I was told that they aren't a factory fitted option so it means paying full whack for em.

As I said I maybe wrong

Both are the same price ... £99.00 each plus £4.00 for hubcap.

Oh well! But they're still not a factory fit option, so you still have to pay full whack!
