DIY 16" star alloys on a one

Hi, was thinking of getting some cooper s 17" wheels for my one but i've decided they're too big. Instead im looking at the 5 star 16" ones but will they fit mini ones o.k? Do all mini wheels have just 4 bolts/nuts? and can i use the bolts/nuts off my 15" one wheels for these new ones? Thanks, p.s i did search the forums but i couldn't find the answer -sorry im a bit of a newbie.

Do you have steel or alloy wheels currently?

It was acceptable in the 80's

Ive got the 16" 5-stars on my ONE which replaced my 7-hole 15s. They fit a treat. They look the nuts too, especially when clean. Check out my gallery. You can see my one with both sets on.

my current ones's are the 8 spoke 15" alloys - nice pics Garp, they look cool - makes it look more sporty! so did you just take the nuts off your old wheels and use them on these?

That good as the 16" five stars have the same bolts. Called yellow bolts. Part Number 36130141576.

Some wheels (such as 17" S spoke from Cooper S) have black bolts with a different part number.

It was acceptable in the 80's
