Hello , just after what wheels these are , it seems everyone can spot/reconize so many wheels on here , the oak green mk2 was round corner from my house once and the red one im guessing LM's ish ?

Thanks ! :laugh:

I think the first ones are LMs, the second lot are RGR's.

LM's are easy, just go for good quality reps.

With regards to LM's, anything below 17" will be reps.

Oh im after the rgr's :smiley:

I think you'll really struggle getting RGRs less than 17", too.
Could also try a new MINI forum, they use a 4x100 fitment, I've seen some with similar style wheels as standard.
-
BBS RX's are similar to the RGR's and come in 16's with a 4x100 pcd.

Your defonetly right about rgr's be hard to fine , found a good amount of rx's , but there ET is pretty high compared to my et35 , not that I really understand it , would that help take the back of the spokes away from my calipers ?
Thanks !

The higher the ET number the further inside the arch the wheel sits.

Ohhhh right so Now I understand why some
Mk2's have got the wheels tucked right away .. I run et35 at the moment and that's perfect they just sit on the edge ! those rx have et42 ish I think hmmm might not be a tasty as first thought !
Cheers !

10mm spacers will even them back out

BBS RX I's 16in on mine.
They're pretty close to the arch tbh and that's with rolled arches. I'll probably raise it slightly for winter and pull the arches for a bit more clearance, I've lowered it a lot since the pic' in my sig.
I've had loads of wheels and BBS are extremely strong and buckle resistant (we have some monster potholes up here) so I'd highly recommend them.
