United-Kingdom Help with Alloys!

Hi, I am a complete newbie to the mini forum and only know little about what to consider when choosing alloys and wheels!

I currently think I have 15" 5-spoke rocket ET45 alloys on my mini one and am thinking of upgraded to Rota Slipstreams (black) either 16" or 17".

What are these fitment details all about and how do I find out if they will fit?
(the fitment details for the Rota 16" are: 4 X 100 ET40, 4 X 114.3 ET40, 5 X 114.3 ET45) All these codes are confusing to a novice!
Also how do I know how many stud wheels things I have? (what are these?!)

Any help would really be appreciated! Feel so confused not knowing whats what!

Thanks Lizi!

The proper choice in 16" would be 4x100 ET40.

FAQ: What are the bolt pattern, centerbore and offsets for wheels?
