Good looking wheel for the most part. Personally I am not a fan of the 8 hole multi-fit centers. I tend to always pick the wrong bolt circle when mounting them.
Will there be other accents on the MINI that will pickup the coppery orange of the rim sections?
Not a fan of black wheels, but I like those with the orange accent, not that it matters. What you like does. How much do those wheels weigh in at? Unsprung weight does matter.
Tuner lugs are something like spline drives. Not sure you would need to uses those. On the Panasports wheels on my Miata I had to use them due to clearance issues with the stock lug nuts.
Tuner bolts/nuts are usually a smaller diameter part that the wheel will need because of clearance issues. I have to run them on my wheels also as the stock 17mm nut will not fit.
Would love to find some used good wheels that we're 17x7/7.5/8 but new they are way to expensive. I keep hearing about how "rep" wheels are bad and cheap wheels are no good. The so called good wheels are expensive.
Be careful of rims requiring tuner lugs! Mid 2006 and newer MINIs have an odd size lug bolt (M14x1.25) that no one makes in a slim tuner lug . You would have to get a stud conversion kit.
