New Wheels for the 2009
I picked up a set of 2011 wheels. In usual moron fashion I bought first and researched second. I know they are the same lug pattern, but is there any reason why my new wheels won’t fit that I didn’t consider?

Those are R115's - Rib-spokes, and at 18 pounds are lighter than most OEM 17 inch wheels. Attractive, too. Good find!

They should be. They are 16s


Also reminds me...RRtec...hope you don't have the big JCW brakes. That would be the one issue.

Yep 16" , those are pretty rare for a 16" MINI wheel: 36116791941 they are a 16x6.5 ET 48 . CB 56.1 in a 4x100 pattern. Should fitt all Gen 2 Cooper and Cooper S unless you have JCW brakes or some aftermarket BBKs.
