These are R81's, aka Holies, they come in Silver and White



What you have pictured is the R82 8 Spoke, also came in Silver and White



I really have to spend some quality time and get the Wheel Finder fixed...arrggh

 

Sooo, I might have 4! I have a 2003 base R50 with original wheels and I'm planning to upgrade to, well, anything else.

Take a look here. Is this wheel what you're looking for?

 

I see 8-spoke 15s on ebay a lot, but you should be looking for holeys as they are lighter.

 

Holeys weigh in at 13 lbs. each. They are the lightest 15" wheels MINI made.
They are called R81s.

 

Give Detroit Tuned a call, they have used rims for sale.

 

Ive got 4 S wheels, the standard 16" split spokes. Was going to re finish them and try to resell later on.
Just a thought...

 

Yeah Chris the 15" "Holies" as people call them are going to be a real tough find. Got to figure, they only could be optioned on an R50... That takes all the "S" cars out, how many justa owners do you see regularly patrolling the forums? Then they are at a minimum 7 years old... Many have traded them off long ago, or even scrapped them.

It will be a rare find indeed, and I wish you the best of luck.

Are the rules against going aftermarket?

 

if you try Ebay, you can usually find the holeys or some other 15" MINI oem wheels.

 

I still have the stock 16" S wheels... Standard rim's not S-heavies.

 

And they look good!
