Smile Which Wheels?

Hi all,

I'm just awaiting delivery of my new Mini and was looking for some advice on wheels. The car was already in the country so to change the wheels with the dealer would be crazy money so just gonna buy some myself. The car is Silver with black roof.

I was looking at replica crown style alloys on ebay but was worried about the weight of them.

Anyone know where to buy replica wheels ? or even have any recommendations as to what other wheels would look good on the car.

Thanks !

try rochford tyres (do a google search)... you can put in mini as a car and it comes back with pictures of what the wheels will look like...

Im looking at a set of wheels on ebay, they're genuine Mini ones. The seller says they will fit a 07 Mini One but just to be sure will older model Mini wheels fit the new mini. Whats the offset on Mini wheels?

They're these style wheels ...



Thanks !

Those 17x7 R85 S-spoke wheels will fit on a R56.
