Anyone running Mini Cooper wheels?
Hey, Just curious to see if anyone is running mini cooper wheels on their fit. Many of them look like they would be great for the Fit.

Not running any Mini Cooper wheels, but I've actually thought about putting on these style #90 rims for a while.

You might want to consider camber bolts while you're at it. I checked Tire Rack and wheels for Minis run offsets in the +35 range.

Mini wheels
I saw 17" Mini Coopers on a 2002 Civic. The bolt pattern should work, but not sure about the hub size. I assume they would fit.

They are - they're the wheels from the John Cooper Works Mini Cooper GP, sort of a runout special version of BMW's first-generation JCW Mini Cooper S.

Personally not to my taste, but hey, they're relatively rare

on my cooper-s i can fit a 7.5" width from +37 to +45.

i think 7" width is the max you can go with +42 range without rubbage (or within acceptable levels of rubbing).

Those are cooper wheels; I think they where an optional 16 inch rim for the R50/53.

They werent holies. I have holies for track wheels...Justin had the 17in S wheels.

Holies are around 11-12lbs, 15x5.5in and VERY hard to find for some reason.
Theyre big time 4x100 track wheels. Only hate is the 5.5in width.
