Sorry it took so long to get you these...i'm noticing now that the rim model is not exactly the same.
Yeah, that's the R98, or "web spoke". I originally had them on Mr. OEM (a factory option).

Does anyone have an R90 wheel sitting around? Straight and in good shape.

If you do, do you want to part with it?

 

What happened? You bang yours up?

If you mean the photo you posted at the start of this thread, you have R90s. They look similar at a glance, but the R90s have straighter spokes and the R98s have more curvy spokes.

Found this wonderful link to help sort it all out, wheel candy :)

 

http://libraryofmotoring.info/facts/wheels/

Good page! Back in the earlier MINI heydays, I used to use this MINI2 forum page as a good reference:

 

MINI Cooper Forum - FAQ & DIY: Wheels and Tyres

 

Unfortunately, the image links have all broken on it, but it still has some useful info not shown on the earlier page - wheel weights! Excellent info if you care how much your wheels weigh (and you should).

 

It's through that page that I learned that the 1st Gen GP 18" wheels (R107) are actually lighter (19.8 lbs) than all of the OEM 17" wheels... which is one of the big reasons I use them for my summer set (in addition to me really liking how they look). :biggrin:

 

(Yes, there are a number of aftermarket wheels for MINIs that are lighter still... but I wanted to stay OEM.)
