Hi Matt, they fit straight on the only issue you may get is if your mini is a 2006 (Not R56)model as the wheel bolts are larger!

Would these worx wheels fit on R56?

thanks

Matts Mini Adventure · May 7th, 2008, 08:56 AM

hey tobes, noticed you were after my old ones on ebay, i had an R56 cooper the gp worx will not fit as the bolts on the R56 are 14 mm where the R50 bolts were 12 mm, i tried fitting them to my R56 but coz of the different in bolt size the bolts wouldnt fit through.

sorry mate

Matt

P.S.

Welcome To LMC!!!

Hi Matt

Its weird as some wheel suppliers say they have 14mm holes. Maybe the later ones would fit
However i would be surprised

what you could do is slightly make the holes bigger, suposedly topgear.co.uk who are based in doncaster get the alloys they sell with out holes and they drill them for the car?? maybe you could see if this is true before buying a set? and if they do find a cheap set and get them to make the holes bigger?? i have seen some gps on a R56 but i think they sed they had made the holes bigger, just need to be careful that you dont damage the wheels.

hope this helps

Thanks Matt

How much should a set cost with mid price rubber. Ie how much should i pay if i find them

Noiced on ebay that can get a set of 17 inch ones with rubber for £400

Cheers

Haven't found a chili red mini, with black roof, with these wheels on so here's a pic of mine. Just washed the car, so discs are a bit brown

These are 205/45/R17, £375 with Nankang NS-II tyres from Ebay. Went to collect as lucky they were local, so didn't need to pay postage, nice! "Mini" center caps were given too.

I have the some ones on mine, and mine's black. And I always get compliments on them...

aww, darnit! i was thinking of picking up a set of GP replica wheels for my indi blue mini....but it depends on how they would look with indi blue, my stock wheels are in need of retirement and i've narrowed it down to replica GP wheels, or saving up a few more years for hamann anniversary wheels.
