Cooper wheels

I got an awesome lead on a set of 16"mini cooper wheels, is anyone else using cooper wheels? I wonder how well they fit.

Mini Cooper 16in 5 spoke w/ stock runflat tires. They have a nice stockish look but they run pretty heavy with the runflats.

I run set of Mini Cooper 5 spoke wheels as my winter wheels. They have a bore that is 2mm larger than the Yaris' hub and they mount use lug bolts on the cooper, so the lug holes are wider than the Yaris' lugs as well. Check out this thread for the lugcentric bulge conical lug nuts that I found that work well for mounting them on the Yaris.

Just realized those lugnuts would cost me around 100 dollars with shipping. Might not be such a good idea!

They're not that expensive. They are $5.99 for a pack of 5, so it's $24 + shipping (which was about $8 if I remember correctly).

The Mini label is a metal stick on label. I just pulled mine off and sprayed the black plastic center caps to match the wheel.
