I hit a massive pothole and was just told that the wheel is bent. I had planned on upgrading to larger wheels when it was time to get new tires so this didn't really fit into my plans.

I'd like my wheels to match, so can anyone point me in the right direction to find a replacement wheel? I don't even know what OEM wheel I have.

It's an R55 Clubman with stock wheels. Here is what I have now. Thanks in advance!

 

According to http://minicooper.wikia.com/wiki/OEM_Wheels_and_Tires it looks like I have the R94 Bridgespoke in silver. Is that right?

 

Another update. Looks like there's way more damage to my Mini than just the tire. Going to tow it to my guy to see what else we are looking at.

In the meantime, I'm told that there's more than one wheel damaged. It might be possible to straighten the second one, or I might have to just get two of them.

So my questions are....

1. Are my wheels the R94 Bridgespoke in silver

2. Any recommendations on where I can source them?


so it's looking like I need two wheels, o

 

last time I hit a pothole hard enuf to seriously bend two wheels

I ended up with almost $2000 in suspension damage on top of the wheels (strut, both wheel bearings, control arm, steering knuckle ... and the tires too as such a hard hit almost certainly compromised the sidewall (in ways you can't see until the tire comes apart from the damage)

How's your insurance?

 

Capt_bj -- Thank you for the reply.

I'm hoping my damage isn't as severe, but I'll know more later today. Currently having my baby towed on a flatbed to German Performance Options here in Nashville. I won't pull the trigger on new wheels until I get the total damages.

Thankfully, I do have good insurance, so we'll see.

 

They are R94 , come in white silver and black, you will need silver , we can get them for you. 36116775684 part #

I would also have the rear suspension checked out.

 

ECSTuning -- helpful as always and thank you for the tip.

It looks like the rear tire was damaged as well, so that's on my list of things for them to check.

This is the pothole that I hit: http://l.mashby.com/1c1Rf

 

You are welcome. Yea the tire most likely took most of the impact force.

its looks sinister alright, and filled with water , so you dont know its true depth. Dang pot holes.

 

I bought a wheel for my wifes Mini last year from Carid.

It was a refurb,matched perfectly.

 

I have a full set of Flame Spoke 17's if you're interested. tires or no tires. one will need to be replaced at least. I can let them go for cheap if you'd like.

 

@mini4mo -- thank you for the heads up. I haven't checked there yet, so I'll have to give it a quick search.

@CooperSharp -- super tempting since I'm planning on upgrading to 17" wheels in the future, but since I plan to use my 16's for winter tires, I need to complete the set that I have. Thank you though.

 

Yea, I would run 15 or 16" in the winter , then get a set of 17 or 18" for the summer, that's my set up.

Hopefully nothing else is damaged back there and you can get that wheel replaced.

 

@ECSTuning -- What wheels are you running in the summer?

 

I have R112 17" challenge wheel on the R58 in black, with 15mm spacers.

Just to wrap up this thread, I was lucky enough to find a set of 4 wheels that wcpfour was willing to sell and even ship!

So they are en route to my repair shop and after another $1200 in repairs, my girl "Miles" will be back on the road. Turns out I had a broken engine mount and CV boot in addition to the two wheels being damaged.

 

Yikes. It looks like there was more damage. Good thing it was looked at.

 

I bent a rim too and am looking to upgrade. I have not used these guys, but am seriously considering:

I've also seen those wheels on ebay, but be careful of the condition.
Good luck.

 

Last weekend I got Miles back on the road again and she's driving like a champ!



Thanks to everyone who helped me by answering questions and being so supportive.

 

You are welcome. much better
