Interesting their website doesn't list it as a fit. Hopefully it fits with no spacers. Keep us posted as I really like the look.

Unfortunately, at what price! There's got to be something else out there that will work, from O.Z. Or others. Just can't justify $3k for just s set of wheels. And I haven't seen a wheel yet from Mini that excites me for the JCW! Too bad that the M Sport 228 stock wheels won't work. I rather like them.

Ssr has some beautiful multi piece wheels. Had a2009 fJcw loved it and would have bought Jcw if it came in 4dr.

Be aware the center bore size of the wheel on ebay is 82. The bore size on the F56 is 66.5.

A $10 set of hubcentric rings would fix that.

I looked up the part number and found the information on another site. As stated above it can be fixed with rings.

That's good news. Are you installing the JCW Brakes? Also, do you happen to have the part # for those wheels? Thanks

This wheel is the perfect fitment for a mini.No poke,more clearance from suspension to wheel vs stock and room for huge brakes.

At 18x8 the bbs is one of the lighter cast wheels on the market and at the price point a very high quality addition to the car.I did look at forged offerings from bbs starting around 700+ and volk,ssr and ccw coming in at the 800/900+ range but could not convince myself that the extra money for lighter weight and added strength would be well spent for a daily driver.

One way to look at the weight of the sro16 bbs vs oem is that with the bbs no spacer is needed so no extra unsprung weight.

Maybe with standard brakes, but probably not a lot of room left with the Brembo brakes, in my opinion.
