compatible wheels for 09 MCS R56

Okay, I'm on a mission to assemble some winter tires and not pay an arm and a leg for wheels that will be on the car 2-3 months at the most. I came across this list of 4 x 100 bolt pattern wheels...anyone have any experience with any of these?

4 on 100mm (3.93)
Acura - Integra to '89
Audi - most models to '89
Audi Fox
BMW 1600, 2002
BMW - 2002, 300-series to '89
Chevy - Chevette '76-'87
- Spectrum, Nova '80-'89
Dodge - Omni, Rampage, Aries, 024 '79-'85
- Charger, Daytona (FWD) '82-'89
Honda - all (except '76-'80 Accord, Civic) to '89
Isuzu - Impulse, I-Mark to '89
Nissan - Pulsar, Sentra '87-'89
Opel Kadett
Plymouth - Horizon, TC3, Reliant, Voyager '78-'89
Renault - all to '89
Toyota - Celica, MR2, Tercel '86-'89
VW - Dasher, Fox, Jetta, Rabbit, Scirocco to '89

I don't have your answer, just experience w/another german model not in your list. But what comes to mind is the bore size. The mini uses hub-centric rims with a specific bore size (which I fail to remember; would have to look-it-up), which serves to keep the weight off the lug bolts. So though the list may be all 4x100 rims, you sure they'll all work?

I believe the bore size you need is 56.1mm. You can get centering rings for many 3rd party wheels. That might work for some other car brand wheels, if they are hub-centric and significantly larger than 56.1mm.

The other issue is offset. IIRC, somewhere around +38 to +40 is the correct offset for the MINI. Someone else may be able to give the precise number.
