Crown Spoke Alloys Question

Hi everyone,

I am considering buying some Genuine BMW MINI R104 17" Crown Spoke Alloys in Silver to fit on my R55 mini. the only problem being that the alloys I am looking at are the 2nd gen crown spoke alloys and I'm not sure thay will fit my mini.

Will these 2nd gen alloys fit my 1st gen R55 Mini Cooper Park Lane?

Thanks in advance guys!

I'm assuming when you say "R55" you're referring to the registration, because R55 is the designation for a Clubman which is a 2nd Gen MINI

FAQ: Can all OEM wheels be fitted to either generation MINI?

I saw a first gen with crown spokes and I didnt like the look. It makes the wheels look too big against the car and odd in my opinion. I prefer the S Spokes hands down
