These are Burple's 'old' (but lovely) wheels which were on his PW JCW and his previous MINI.
I think they're ROTAs, but he'll tell you himself when he clocks this thread!
He's still got them I think...
YOU BEAT ME TO IT WHILE I WAS GETTING THE PHOTO ALI!!!!
2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!
Cheers guys !!!
I don't think his wheels are/were Rota's, although the Rota RB is a very similar design
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
Nope... close.. they look very like Rota RBs.. but they're not. They're actually League 156 wheels, and as far as I know have been out of production for about 6 years or so - which i found out when trying to get replacement centre caps and bolt inserts for the rims.
Closest thing to them now would be Rota RBs I think
Still have them, and I'm trying to decide if there's anything I can do to them to make them suit the Black and red JCW

Ahhh, I thought they might be an older Rota design, but I knew they weren't RB's, as the RB's are even more 'MINILITE' stylee, with chunkier spokes.
I really wanted RB's for my PW but they wouldn't clear the 4-Pots
Here's the smashin' ROTA RB to drool over...
If I had a nice wee COOPER with the smaller brakes, I'd have these on it in a heartbeat as I think it would look FAB
Or perhaps on a BRG Clubvan with some retro 'COOPER GARAGES' signage on the side...

Sure these will clear brembos in the right offset, a JCW Clubby has these fitted - maybe a 5mm spacer needed

Interesting Mon. Do you have any futher info/photos of afforementioned Clubby? I was told by a couple of suppliers (Rare Rims - who specialise in ROTA stuff - might have been one of them) that they wouldn't fit with the Brembos. I reckoned the RB had too much of a 'dish' and I'm not too keen on using spacers either...Originally Posted by Mon the fish
Just found this thread from USA... must study!

Seems to be no clear answer - though a 15mm spacer def clears the brakes. Also depends on other factors like suspension, tyres etc. To be honest, I'll stick with my Crown Spokes for now, and if I decide to swap rims, I'd go for ROTA BLITZ or poss. OZ Ultraleggeras.

Funny, I know they're ROTAs, but these actually look more like Burple's wheels than chunky RB's...They do look nice tho!
