Mini S Spoke Alloy Wheels

Can anyone tell me where i can buy some S Spoke Mini cooper wheels from? I think they look so much better than the new crown spoke on the r56 cooper and s models. Oh by the way will the older s spokes fit the r56 cooper which I have?

Dave.

The R85 S-spoke wheels will fit your R56 Cooper.

I don't know what they are like. There are always some used ones on Ebay and I have seen a few used ones on Piston Heads as well.

My advise, don't bother. The S spokes weigh in at almost 12kg each which is the heaviest OEM MINI wheel there is. When I took them off my old Cooper it transformed the car, which previously felt sluggish and had a terrible tramlining problem. They're like lead boots for your car, shame they look so nice. Once my Cooper was on lighter rims the acceleration and handing was a revelation
