Mini Cooper wheels

After reading a few people here installing these with success I decided to give them a try. I found a mint set of 16" r94 bridgespokes made by Ronal. Very light weight wheel at only 19 lbs. I ordered the recommended hub centric rings (56.1~54.1) but they were not the right size. The 54.1 (yaris hub size) was right but the 56.1 was too large for these wheels. The correct size should be 55.1~54.1 but I doubt if a 1 mm ring exists. I made them work by really forcing them in the wheel. I also found these open end lugnuts for $1.50 each here >> http://www.otisincla.com/category/ot...x_19.off_road/ Since they were the shortest length they had. I would recommend getting mini cooper wheels if you can find a good deal.

Are these ET48? I just bought a set of mini 16x6.5 today for $50! Are you stock height? Are you getting any rubbing at all with the 190/55/16? Please post a pic of the entire car with these if possible!

Looks like ET48: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?faq=faq_wheels_tyres. How much do they affect acceleration? I had looked into getting a set of 15x5.5 R81 7-hole mini wheels since they were super-light (12 lbs) but wanted something a bit different cosmetically.

Ok... I'm looking for something close by or within the US. It's not that I didn't do my homework by visiting my local shops or my best friend Google, however, the size I am looking for 56.1 - 54.1 is not as common as one would think or at least not around Chicago -- that I am aware off. I did find them at Hubcentric-rings.com but, again looking to find them locally leaving ordering as a last resort.

Thanks for your input. I'll try 330h.

The ones you need are 55.1~54.1. But don't know if they exist. ^ That's where I ordered the 56.1~54.1 from.
