I've recently fitted some Cooper 7 hole alloys to my One. Before and after pics can be seen in my gallery, along with some close-ups of the bolts:

The standard steel wheels come with brass coloured bolts. Alloy wheels are supposed to use black bolts and these can be purchased from a Mini dealer for £2.15 each. A bit expensive, but at least only 12 are required to complement the £14 locking wheel bolts kit (supplied with black caps).

I have a set of Cooper alloy wheel black bolts including the locking ones and locking adaptor for the wheel brace.

If anyone wants them, let me know

Oops, got the price wrong - black bolts are actually £1.45 each (£1.23 + VAT) - still expensive though for a bolt. Wish I'd have thought of trying this forum for a set first, like I did with the wheels, but was assuming that most Cooper owners upgrading their wheels would still need the bolts.
