Only available in 17x7 with a choice of 42 or 50mm offsets from what I can gather.

18" G2 won't fit the mini, no 4*100 stud pattern. They could make them but I have to buy at least 100 sets. :D

I guess I'll go with the Volk Racing VR.G7.

The RAYS' Catalog shows that the 18" G7 are available for the Mini.
http://www.rays-msc.com/catalog_2010/index.html#12

But I might just go with the 17", it'll be enough and maybe better if I want to lower the car a little.

My question is, can I mount this wheels on a R56 Mini Cooper?

May you have a picture of them on a MC?
I have a picture of the VR.G7 mounted on a MCS, but nothing with the VR.G2.

And if you have any advice for me on the size I should choose or on the wheel itself, since I'm kinda new in this domain, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
i was also considering getting the G2 but in 17" & matte black. i changed my mind because being 17x7 +42 it won't be as flush with the fender (even with 215/40R17) as my wheels now. i must say though that i haven't seen a MINI rolling on the G2 yet

Those look great, just curious where you picked them up from?
I have not seen many mini's rolling on the RPM II's, you may be running my old wheels

Awesome.

Not sure how they'd look on my Oxygen Blue car, though :D

Maybe in Gulf Orange.

i'm also curious to know how it'll look like on my EB/B R53 but trying not to scratch the itch because instead of selling it it could wind up on my R53 i don't know if i'm ready to part with my SE37K just yet

Thanks for the compliment, I think they look great too! They were for sale here in the marketplace a few weeks ago by bdr127. They were local too, located in Mechanicsburg, PA.
