HELP needed to fine alloy wheels

[jaymanv4]

Hi There

I need some help in finding a set of alloy wheels, they are a cross between the old style minilite or superlite wheels and the "17" GP style from a mini cooper s R53 model.

I think they are avilaible in 17 and 18 inch sizes but i cant seem to find them anywhere.

There was a thread on mini2forum which had pictures of all different types of minis with there alloys on and i cant find it .

If anybody could shed some light on this for me it would be much appreciated as im looking to get some new alloys for MCS.

Thanks Jaymanv4

Hi MINIAC

Thanks for that they are the right ones they look awesome.
I have been looking for these wheels for bloody days.
Is that your mini with the wheels on???? if so LOOKS GREAT and how much did you pay for them? Also i have just changed my tyres to goodyear eagle gsd3 215/40/r17s will they fit on these wheels???

Thanks jaymanv4

The MINI in the picture I posted belongs to Purego who last was online in 2004.

Google lists this German site with pricing for the 17x7 fitment although it doesn't show PCD or offset information.

A 215/40-17 size tire will fit either the 7" or 8.5" width versions of this wheel.

Hi Miniac

Hope your well.
I've been looking for the RH Maxlite rims for days, the company in Germany whom manufacture these has unfortunalty gone bang $$, please could you possibly assis tme with an importer in the Eurpoe that might still have a set 17in 8.5 J, any condition I don't mind.

I'm based in South Africa, so we have limited access to trick aftermarket mini components etc.

Much appreciated

Dave
