R53 wheels on a R55/56

Good day,


My R53 might be getting written off after a small fender bender. Looking to replace it with a R55/56 and wondering if the wheels will swap over, they are the R99 17" wheels. I'm not sure if the TPMS wheel sensor will fit that wheel.


Any info much appreciated.

The older R99's I believe had some TPMS fitment, but the newer ones work. Newer
36116778427 || older 36116769609 part number. The R56 only had TPMS in board at a certain time. Before that they were still like the Gen 1 MINIs.

Now the aftermarket sensors by Huf have more room to fit then the factory Huf ones.
