Aussie wheels

This will probably be moved, but does anyone know what aftermarket wheels are available in OZ in 18's or 19's..?

No skanky chrome jobbies though, just classy ones please...!

well, most wheels should fit fine with a 4x100 bolt pattern.....
if the wheels got a different centerbore than the mini, a hub centric ring will fix it...
the mini has a size of 56.1mm in my memory...
and i think as for wheels, i think its too hard to list them all as IML337 has stated....
probably better if u go to shopping in AMG or something similar
(depending on where u are in)

05 PW/B chilli. finally here.

Check out www.tempetyres.com.au They have photos of the wheels on their site and the prices seem pretty good. If you can't find any nice alloy wheels maybe you could save a whole bunch of money and buy a set of those spinning hubcaps that keep spinning after you've stopped..... mmmm classy (not!)

Tempe Tyres?! He said classy!

my suggestion is to check out the wheel and tire FAQ on this site, it has loaads of pics and details on rim names, types, sizes, and what they look like on a MINI. Once you've gone through that and got an idea for what you like, you'll find yourself searching for more info on particular rims that you like and then in your travels you'll come across others, and by then you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect rims!

...only to find out you can't get them in Australia,so you'll have to settle for sometyhing else hehehe (I'm kind of joking)

Good luck with it mate!
