Another r56 wheel question

hello all...i have a 2007 r56 s and i wanna get some new wheels. but it seems like not all wheel accept the 14mm lugs, TPMS sensors, whel hub etc. so other than factory MCS wheels is there a wheel manufacturer that will more or less bolt right on to the mini? im lookin at 17x7 and 215 45 17 wheels/tires but it seems like im going to need to spend several hundred extra before i can even mount any wheels to the care.

thank you

I got a Mini Clubman S coming into California next week. I already have aftermarket wheels I wanted (Kazera KZ-J 17x7.5 from tirerack.com). I'll have some 16" Mini Cooper s-winder rims w/ new runflats and tpms for sale in about a week and a half. I'm looking for $800 for all for with tires and tpms. I'm in Martinez and can drop off in Sacramento if you are interested.

If you don't like the s-winders you can check tirerack.com and they will show you which wheels will fit on your car and you can even see what they look like with them on the car.

Good luck with your search.

Tirerack will search for appropriate wheels that'll fit the MINI, that's how I went looking. Tell them year/make/model and they'll tell you which wheels will bolt straight on and bundle them with the right mounting hardware.
