Yeh I had the option to get them on my Cooper, but opted for Silver wheels.JV said:You most certainly can get the 17" S-spokes in white - my Indi Blue Cooper will be wearing a set in just under three weeks...will post some pics of the wheels as soon as I get it (and before they're covered in brake dust)!
Does this mean there is an option on the cooper now to go from 15" to 17" ?.JV said:You most certainly can get the 17" S-spokes in white - my Indi Blue Cooper will be wearing a set in just under three weeks...will post some pics of the wheels as soon as I get it (and before they're covered in brake dust)!

I'm interested because the cost of going from 15" to 16" (on the cooper) in ozzie dollars is $950. My dealer does not know the factory price of moving from 16" to 17" S-Spoke wheels as yet.
Yes LMB, I think it does. That equates to around the same price as moving from 16 to 17 here.....around $1000 aus. That would be excellent news if that transpires here....LMB said:
Basil,
I am not sure how it works in OZ, but here when you purchased the Mini you had to choose either a pepper pack or chili pack. I got the chili, which included an upgrade from 15" to 16" wheels. I have now paid an extra £370 to upgrade from 16" to 17" wheels. It has only recently become an option though.
Hope that helps![]()

Yes please...sxc-s said:Hey Guys I have the full spec, option and price list for Cooper and Cooper S in New Zealand. Maybe that will be a closer indicator of options and prices compared with UK.
Let me know if you want me to post it.

Speaking to my dealer last week about 17" rims, he said that as the 16" are standard with the Cooper S, and the upgrade to 17" for the Cooper is £370, then they cannot conceivably charge any more than that.Originally Posted by LMB

If those prices are firm and they translate well to ozzie dollars, those 17" S-spoke wheels would have to be the best added value option on the BMW option list........absolutely too good to miss out on......I guess theres only 4 of them too !......An_S_4_Me said:

Made my mind up, I was expecting them to be at least £400

Hmmm.... My dealer mentioned they would be offering "Dealer fit" alternatives, but conceided they wouldn't come close to the factory prices, which by all standards do seem very reasonable. Our specs shouldn't be far away now.....sighrich said:...Yeah 17" upgrade sounds pretty fair doesn't it
Looking at the miniusa specs, however, (BTW, has everyone found the 2-page print-outable version of these...?) there only seem to be one 16" & one 17" option for the S, and std Cooper & S options seem to be mutually exclusive - I had hoped for more flexibility.
Anyone had official word from a dealer on wider options yet?
Demo 'S' - Maysxc-s said:They were initially talking about March, but now they are saying July. I wait with baited breath. Would love to have it for the summer, but that is obviously not going to happen.
What is the indicative pricing and delivery for Australia at the moment. I guess it is a higher price because of the mods they have to make for Aus (lets not blame the Aus govt and all your ridiculous taxes). Ours are pretty much UK Spec. I feel sorry for you guys having the large tach in the middle. I would get the sat nav option (not available in NZ) just to get the tach back on the steering wheel.
