Welcome to MINI2

Yes they are called S Spokes (often referred to as S lites in the states)

They fit on any MINI without any problem at all.

Even A '53?

Hey there,

Are you talking about a 1953 Mini ( I know they didn't make them in 1953 - production started in 1959 ). Or a 53 plate MINI One -- if it is a 53 plate MINI One then you should be fine - they use a 4 X 100 mm bolt pattern - same as all the new BMW MINI's

Good luck

I think were talking about a 53 plate MINI one. Or at least I hope we are Otherwise i'm way out saying 17's will fit

Here's an explaination of the UK registration system if you fancy some reading (It really isn't very interesting reading though ) - http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regm...ent_system.htm

It's probably just me, I don't have a clue what a '53 plate MINI one is.

Check out olly's web link - it explains the "plate" that the brits use. It is way different than the U.S. system

Also the MINI One is not avail. in the USA, yet.... They deemed it to "economical" for the US market. It is basicly a detuned and stripped down MINI Cooper - very good on gas and cheaper to buy than the Cooper avail. here in the USA.

Check out www.mini.com for some models that are not avail. to us here in the States.

"Too economical" sounds really good now, I want a MINI one D!!

Thanks and my apologies to our American friends, yes it's an age determination for a late 2003 early 2004 Car
