Sorry, all mini's have 4 studs, but, you can get a converter though i would never recommend one, in my opinion that would put too much stress on teh hub and may lead to issues later on

Why not just spec MINI 17" wheels. If you are speccing a new car it may be cheaper to do it that way.

I am not really a fan of aftermarket wheels personally.

Congrats on ordering a MINI, please post the spec of your car once ordered.

its not cheaper to put mini 17's on the car and to be honest im not blown away by any of the current mini wheels.

also the 17 rims mini do are very very heavy the biggest oem rims i would fit would be 16's

17" wheels with runflats are very heavy ...16" wheels seem to be the better option all round , ask Elfman ,he swears by them !!.

Congrats.

What dealer are you using? How much are they charging for the JCW sports wheel and shiftlight? These are dealer fit items. Worth checking that the prices you are paying no more than our resident sponsoring dealers would charge!!!

im only getting 10% off how much are the sponsoring dealers willing to give me off as i am also thinking of the spoiler (non JCW but one that sticks up a little bit unlike the cooper spoiler and the JCW seats) also a little question will the old JCW seats fit a R56.would be greatfull if sponsoring dealers could get back to me.
