What wheel diameter will you /do you fancy. 10" 12" or 13"?? With 13's you'll more than likely have to chop the front wings to get them to fit. Wide 12 inchers with a lowered car can sometimes rub the arches as well.  |

want to upgrade to 13's, i've got sportspack arches to go on so modding thae arches are a must anyway.

I think the pcd of the mini's (4inch) is pretty exclusive m8. Other than metros, although vauxhall 4 stud astra and cavaliers etc is very close at 100mm. Don't know if anyone is aware of that or not. Not sure if they will deffo fit but worth a try.  |

I bought my mrs alloys for her first car, proton compact,
they were multifit things, they had a 4" pdc and a 4 3/4 pdc
they would have gone nice on a mini
