Edge Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks, I really need a new keyboard.....:banghead:Done. $50/$50/$200/$100, right? No price suggested on the front bumper, though.

that7guy Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 Indeed. Im not certain the market value of a hyper blue bumper so Im willing to hear offers. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Edge Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 Sorry, per my voicemail, I have to decline the black rims. I just left MoCo after speaking with the Service Dept. Manager and he said that those rims (~2005) for 1st Gen. MINIs have slightly different holes for the lug nuts and the 2nd Gen. lug nuts are slightly different (more of a cone shape). They will not work on my car. Actually, the manager is misinformed. All 1st Gen and 2nd Gen OEM wheels will fit all MINIs*, provided the brake calipers aren't too big for them. The hole pattern is the same, and yes, although the bolt sizes changed slightly between generations, the holes in the wheels are still big enough to fit either. So yes, these wheels can be put on a 2nd Gen MINI. I also use 2nd Gen wheels on my 1st Gen MINI in the winter. It's really not a big deal. * Except for the Countryman / R60. That's a totally different ball of wax (different bolt pattern) You can buy replacement lug nuts! www.radusadirect.com Yep - RAD lug bolts and wheel locks are the top of the line, and that's why I used them in my brake upgrade project. It's just a shame they aren't black... but I still think they look good.

Bert Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 I asked him about changing the lugs and he said that it was more involved. He said that it is easier to put second gen. wheels on first gens. but not the other way. He didn't elaborate and it my mistake not to ask more. I'll go with your advice since since I know that you (Laura and Haemish) aren't trying to sell me new wheels from the dealership. So... Sevan, if you are still game and I didn't piss you off, give me a call when you get home. I have 10 twenties available for your next project.

But there is no need to change the lug bolts, your existing ones should work fine. I haven't heard of a problem doing this, and I'll be very surprised if you do. Heck, you can always jack up the car and test-fit one of them at Sevan's house! I suggest testing on the front due to the bigger caliper.

that7guy Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Can you tell us what size wheels they are? They are 17X7 with stock MINI hub and Offset. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CarlB Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 When I look on Tire Racks web site They list AR-1 wheels not AR-2 wheels. Are you shure of the model number?
