Went to the dealers yesterday to get some nuts for Brown and a funny look from the guy behind the parts desk (don't think they like me taking my bike in with me)

Anyway, as I was leaving I spotted quite a nice set of wheels on a new Mini. Looks to me like the PCD is pretty small, much like that on the E30.

Anyone know what it is and if the new Mini could've finally found it's place in the world, i.e. providing us with a supply of wheels?

Cheers!

The Mini has the same PCD of the E30 at 4 x 100.

There's some tasty looking wheels available for the Mini now... very tempting for the E30... but is the offset correct?

Yup... I got a set of Weller Racing rims on my 318iS that were off a Formula Vauxhall single seater racer... :lol:

The PCD and centre bore are an exact match.
