Nice people on here were selling brand new 15" MINI wheels with tyres for £100!
Perhaps someone who has a set of wheels available will let you know.

for your info, vauxhall corsa wheels are normally 4 x 100 so they are the same stud pattern as the MINI and they are normally ET40 so they would fit if the other wheels don't work out. ;)

Yeah a vaux 4 stud will go on the hub of a MINI as I have used one from a corssa as a spare in the past. I didnt use it for any distances though.

Thank you so much for all the threads trying to help me :thumbs up:but finally got a set of 17" that will need a refurb the new ones are 205/40/17 and a new tyres comes in at 47.56 form blackcircles and a place in east kilbride says that they will match any other place. another place in Ek sayed that they would do 205/45/17 for 48 bucks each but then I would have to buy 2 of then(do not even now if 45 will fit I will need to see what the gap is on car). Also get part worn tyres for 30-40 quid but not so sure about them you do not now what they have come off of.....will post pic when on the car so you can all see them and comment.:D
so with the new wheels on the car if my speed says that i am doing 30mph what speed do you think that I will really be doing ( I take it that I will be slower then ) its just for speed cameras and things.....
