Title: Mini Wheels
Post by: GolfDan on 02 October 2008, 18:18

Right then. After a fruitless offer of my BBS's in a swap for some G60 steelies my attention has turned to other means of updating the look of my car.

What I want to know is, has anyone ever fitted wheels off the new BMW Mini on their mk2? Is the fitment them same and all that shizz. And if anyone has pics would be handy  :wink:

I have done the obligatory search and cant find anything by the way.

im sure the new mini wheels are 4x100 but unsure of offset or bore size. saw some mini wheels (bbs style) on an MG ZR and they looked great  :smiley:

Bore size it too small so you'll need to get them turned out

I think with a healthy drop and a nice tuck they look mint (and budget requires something cheap)

have seen a picture of a golf with mini alloys fitted but cant remember wether it was in a mag or a forum and it didnt state wether wheels had to be machined/spacered to fit

They mini steels? What did you have to do to get them on? Mew mentioned earlier that the bore was different?

It's not my car, just saved the pic as it was Oak green! I think you DO have to open up the centre bore a smidge, but I could be wrong. I'll see if I can find out for you mate.  :wink:

Think I have seen a 6n Polo running 17" Mini wheels on PH. I also have a Cooper S with the 17's.....if it was dry now I would have gone & tried them for fit.

I have just taken my alloys off for winter & added G60 steels with flush centre caps.....looks tidy due to the drop I am running.
