How's they do this (5 lug on a mini)?
#1
I have been looking at rims for my mini for quite some time now, but all the rims I like only come in the 5 lug config and not the mini's 4. I ran across this pic in an early post and I was wondering how they got these to fit. Any help would be great, I don't know much about the filling and drilling procedure, but it appears in the picture they are using the 5 lug config.

http://www.breyton.de i believe. The wheels are not driveable in that state. At several shows the wheels to be used aren't in production yet so they use a 5 lug version. I dont know exactly how they get 'em on there, but i know they cant drive it as-is. There *are* mods you can do to get a 5 lug wheel to fit, but i dont think they come highly recommended.

Yeah...uh, lemme find the dude on MINI2 who did it to his car. I think Dan@tirerack mentioned the before and said he didn't recommend it though....

The 4 lugs on the MINI wheels is one of the things that I do not like. For some reason, I am quite a snob in this area and have learned to look at the lugs on some models of some particular Japanese cars in order to determine if the car is really a fast car or if it just has the wrong decals and badges on it.
If they were 5 lugs, chances are they would use the same bolt pattern as MY VW GTI and then I would be super happy to be able to keep my 16" 2 piece BBS wheels instead of selling them for a joke of a price.
