Help me understand my MINI rims...

Okay, so I'm looking for a new set of rims. I'm not sure how big my hub bore is but my "new" rims hub bore is 73mm. Assuming my mini's hub bore is smaller, Is there anything thing I can buy to use the bigger bore rims?

I got my hub rings from here...

...just call and tell them what size you need, 56.1mm to 73mm.

EDIT: just saw your location...I was born in Philly. I'm watching the Flyers get smoked by the Maple Leafs right now. Sucks.

Very cool partsman, thanks!

I lost interest in Philly teams long ago. To much choking when they needed to come through. I was surprised by the Phillies winning. If that game hadn't been rained out, I'm sure the world series would have taken a different turn. But, I have to give credit where credit is due.

You got that right! Philly teams can be very frustrating.
