You can get some BBS REs from Japan which are basically the same design as the CH but come in MINI fitment.

My STi wheels pictured below!

Q.? Does any one know were I can find a hub converter for our Mini's? We have 4x100 on our Mini's but I would like to be able to put 5x114.3 wheels! Why you might ask! Cuz I have alot of wheels to fit my STi and I would love these (wheels below) that are on the STi to go on the Mini!
And I have the stock BBS wheels that go on the STi that are just sitting in my house with Falken RT-615's on them! The Stock STi BBS's have a good offset that wont affect the calipers or the wheel being 8"s rubbing the strut if mounted on our Mini's!

Have you factored in the thickness of the adapter to the ending-offset on the MINI?

Regardless... http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3340

Those RG-F's are THE last word in lightness, if that's a big priority. The 16-inchers are less than 13 lbs each. Nothing even comes close, at least not a street rim. The only downside is that 16's is as big as they come, so you wind up with a lot of sidewall. I almost went this route before settling on my original choice, 17" LM's, which are quite about heavier.

Thanks.

Not sure about the R98's in particular, but I do know that BBS does OEM some wheels for Mini.. as well as many other euro nameplates. The problem with virtually all of the Mini wheel options is that they're all heavy as boat anchors, and that's not a good thing.. especially when shod with runflats, which creates a double-whammy.
